My new found love for Patti Smith

Just Kids. A tale of the ultimate love.

I have just finished reading Patti Smith's new book titled 'Just Kids'. I literally could not put the book down until it was finished. I read the final chapter on a midnight flight to Mexico and tears were rolling down my face. The beginning of the book tells a story of young love, poetry, art and fame and magically turns into a eulogy, an honoured remembrance of the talented Robert Maplethorpe. 
Truely amazing literature. A must read for all.
