An intimate peek at Jane Birkin by her best friend, photographer Gabrielle Crawford, enriched with accounts from those closest to her.

Jane Birkin died in 2023 and is much missed by all. Gabrielle Crawford invites us into her private world, from her first appearance on the silver screen to her final concerts, taking in the birth of her daughters, her touring, the people she met. She also tells the story of the loves in Birkin's life, the death of Kate Barry, and her illness in this portrait of demanding, politically active woman gifted with freedom and a sense of loyalty. It is a book about the joys of friendship, a tribute and a final farewell to France’s favorite Englishwoman: friend, woman, and an exceptional artist.
