Synopsis

Author Nick Johnstone unravels the life and career of one of Britain’s most brilliant yet doomed stars. Amy Amy Amy tracks Winehouse’s erratic journey to fame from her North London Jewish family home, detailing her meteoric rise to stardom, the two albums that catapulted her to the top and her death in 2011. Her well publicized problems with drugs, anorexia, bulimia and suspected self-harm kept her in the headlines, always threatening to obscure her undiminished singing talent. Amy Amy Amy redresses the imbalance, giving full measure to Winehouse’s talent while offering an honest account of her multiple personal crises.
