In 2009, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humour & originality found in his songs.

Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This is a book for workers & dreamers, parents & children, lovers & loners, artists, freaks or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock & roll.

Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force & sweep. Like many of his songs (' Thunder Road', ' Badlands', ' Darkness on the Edge of Town', ' The River', ' Born in the U.S.A.', ' The Rising', & ' The Ghost of Tom Joad', to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter & the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences.

This hardback book has 528 pages & measures: 24 x 16 x 3.5cm

Born into a fog-ridden south London slum in 1931, Eileen Killick quickly learned to look after herself. Her brothers were wayward, her mum had TB & her dad was working all hours on the railways. By the time she was fourteen she had survived the Blitz, a spell in a care home & her mother's death, but she craved excitement, embarking on shoplifting sprees, liberating fur coats & rolling toffs up west with notorious 'queen of thieves' Shirley Pitts. Eileen soon found herself in borstal, put to work building roads like a navvy. Known as ' Kill', she had a reputation as one of the hardest woman behind bars. Then, in the 1950s she met & married career criminal Harry ' Big H' Mac Kenney, & she was soon fraternising with the toughest, most colourful characters in the London underworld. She went on to have four children, whom she loved & protected, but life was extremely tough & Eileen fell back into her old ways, thieving & fighting to make ends meet. The 1970s brought police corruption & brutality to Eileen's doorstep. When Harry was banged up, Eileen carried on the 'family business' alone & found herself on the wrong side of the law
- again. Yet throughout a catalogue of trouble this defiant London bad girl of the old school always kept her defiant sense of humour. Borstal Girl is a true story of shocking violence & survival that pulls no punches, but it is also a secret criminal history of a London long past. There is no other female memoir like it.
