About this product

Product Information

AT 22, Marianne Ihlen travelled to the Greek island of Hydra with writer Axel Jensen. While Axel wrote, Marianne kept house, until Axel abandoned her and their newborn son for another woman. One day while Marianne was shopping in a little grocery store, in walked a man who asked her to join him and some friends outside at their table. He introduced himself as Leonard Cohen, then a little-known Canadian poet. Complemented by previously unpublished poems, letters, and photographs, So Long, Marianne is an intimate, honest account of Marianne's life story - from her youth in Oslo, her romance with Axel, to her life in an international artists colony on Hydra in the 1960s, and beyond. The subject of one of the most beautiful love songs of all time, Marianne Ihlen proves to be more than a muse to Axel and Leonard; her journey of self-discovery, romance, and heartache is lovingly recounted in So Long, Marianne.

  • It's not a story!!

    This book tells very little about when she broke up with Leonard Cohen so so I doubt it was published in 2017. More and more publishers are doing this... mugging readers off with new editions of books that have nothing new in them. Don't waste your money! Its not even a story more feels more like a collection of news items I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone!

  • Only interesting if you can relate to that era!

    Wanted hardback but too expensive. I am elderly so story/love affair took me back to 1960's which was very bohemian i.e. 'anything goes'. I would imagine today's youngsters' would find it very 'quaint'.
