![]() ![]() You love her or you despise her - middle ground simply doesn't exist there. ![]() Yet, though she and John divorced, her perspective is certainly no less important than that of any other woman involved with the band.Īs I look over comments on Lennon where his personal life was concerned, I definitely see split camps of opinion on Yoko Ono. I also gathered toward the end of John that money is not a motive for this work, but rather a desire to contribute to the Lennon legend - that its publication nearly coincided with a Lennon milestone (the 25th anniversary of his death) shouldn't be lost on anybody, either. This might explain why Cynthia decided to re-tell her story rather than heavily revise Twist and resurrect that work in a time when many authors' back lists are enjoying new life in the Kindle age. Strapped for cash, and pressured by Twist, she penned the tell-all much to John and Yoko's consternation. The title provides more than one play on words - Cynthia had been married to her third husband John Twist at the time - and late in her most recent work John she admits that the first memoir wasn't wholly her idea. Not long before John Lennon's death, his first wife Cynthia published a memoir of their marriage called A Twist of Lennon, now out of print. ![]()
