My Life So Far

By: Jane Fonda

Narrated by: Jane Fonda

'There are always regrets in life, among them things we've done that we wish we could take back and erase. I have significant ones that will haunt me forever and which I hope I have been brave enough to confront in this book' Jane Fonda in the preface to My Life So Far.

Now in her 60s, Fonda looks back over her life but also forward to the future. With unflinching honesty she addresses, amongst other things, her tragic and tortured relationships with her mother and father; her lovers and husbands, from Roger Vadim to Ted Turner; her passions and political views. The result is rare in its readability and sheer page-turning force. This is a powerful account of an extraordinary woman.

Critic reviews

An incredible woman...and this is certainly an incredible book, given how open and honest the very private Fonda is being (Lisa Milton, BCA)

Such candiness...you're left with something less frequently inspired by a Hollywood star autobiography - respect

She didn't just live through changing times, she embodied
them

Jane Fonda fearlessly lays bear the many, frequently criticised facets of her more than full life with panache and honesty...A moving portrait of an extraordinary life, from vulnerable childhood to wise womanhood

Endearingly earnest, honestly intelligent

Worth reading, worth listening to…

From an earlier generation, but an icon for me on the periphery, I wanted to learn about and understand Jane Fonda, and what makes her who she is. I have had a glimpse, because even a comprehensive book can only give you a glimpse of someone and someone‘s life, and I am so pleased I did. This is a fabulous book… a real journey. Some of her lessons in life are my lessons too, and it is good to feel that kindredness. Very much worth reading… very much worth listening too.

An amazing lady and story

I loved this book, not only did it change the way I think about her but a number of topics she touches on in the book , she read it well and you just hear the talent in her voice. I think that the way she tells the story is heartfelt and honest and she really did this for her benefit as much as for ours to hear it. An amazing story from an amazing legend of screen and life!
