      #1 New York Times Bestseller
      A People Magazine Top Ten Book of the Year

      ''A sensational memoir . . . brilliantly well written. Carly Simon is incapable of writing a boring sentence . . . you can forgive anything for the unparalleled brilliance of her writing'' - Lynn Barber, Sunday Times

      ''Hugely affecting memoir . . . heartfelt and remarkable'' - Fiona Sturges, Independent

      Carly Simon is a household name. She was the staple of the ''70s and ''80s Billboard charts and was famously married to James Taylor with whom she has two children. She has had a career that has spanned four decades, resulting in thirteen top 40 hits, including the Number 1 song ''You''re So Vain'', numerous Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. She was the first artist in history to win a Grammy Award, an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for her song ''Let the River Run'' (from the film Working Girl).

      Boys in the Trees is a rhapsodic, beautifully composed memoir of a young woman''s coming of age amongst the glamorous literati and intelligentsia of Manhattan (her father was Richard Simon, co-founder of publishing giant Simon & Schuster), a reflection on a life begun amidst secrets and shame, and a powerful story of the strength to leave that all behind and forge a path of art, music and love in the Golden Age of folk and rock.

      At once an insider''s look into a life in the spotlight, a lyric reflection on a particular time in our culture''s history, and a beautiful memoir about the pains and joys of love and art, Boys in the Trees is the story Carly Simon has long been waiting to tell the world.
