Description

A revealing memoir of Jamaican reggae singer Bob Marley, from the woman who knew him better than anyone-his wife.
 
Rita Marley met Bob Marley in a recording studio in Trench Town, Jamaica when she was eighteen. A year later, they were married. The two of them set the world on fire. But life with Bob was not easy.
 
Written with author Hettie Jones, No Woman No Cry is an honest account of Bob and Rita’s life together, including never-before-told details of the famed songwriter’s life, from Bob’s multiple affairs to the attack that almost killed them both–and who did and didn’t come to his funeral.
 
No Woman No Cry is a must-read for any Bob Marley fan.

    For any woman who has been through her life’s pain and is still struggling to reclaim her smile. I can not sing like Rita, but we all must fight!

    I enjoyed this book, I loved how she made it clear that basically, she is the reason Bob's name has stayed so much alive. It would have anyway, but her hard word after his passing kept it going much stronger than perhaps had she not continued to keep his legacy going. I love her strength and how she kept herself going, no matter what she was privately dealing with, she still fought on, for her kids and more importantly, for herself. I've had this book on my mind now for a couple of days after reading it. It's left me wanting to read more, about Bob, jamaica and reggae.

    The best person to write a book about yourself, is yourself. If I am not able, i's loving wife would do it best. Thank you! Jah bless
