Synopsis
The biography of Agnetha Faltskog focusing on the ABBA years. The book covers Agnetha's career from its beginnings in a small town in Sweden when she was 15, to knocking the Beatles off the top of the pop charts in Sweden two years later. Her career is traced through the hard slog of touring around Europe and the consequences of ABBA's success, the Eurovision song contest, concerts, hit records, TV appearances, media attention, fans, her marriage, her children, the good times, the bad times and the strain of the final tour in 1979. Agnetha explains everything although many fans think she just skimmed over the surface of many subjects and the book did not tell them anything they didn't already know. However, as the book was written by Agnetha herself it is a must for any Abba fan.
