À propos de cet audio

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley tells her whole story for the first time in this raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir faithfully completed by her daughter, Riley Keough.

A PEOPLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir.

A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved.

Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them. About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran toward his body on the floor. About living in Los Angeles with her mother, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, about being married to Michael Jackson, what they had in common. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief. Riley knew she had to fulfill her mother’s wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world.

To make her mother known.

This extraordinary book is written in both Lisa Marie’s and Riley’s voices, a mother and daughter communicating—from this world to the one beyond—as they try to heal each other. Profoundly moving and deeply revealing, From Here to the Great Unknown is a book like no other—the last words of the only child of an American icon.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Instead of tap dancing around the hard parts, we’re drilling into the bedrock. We hear less from Presley and more from Keough, who comes across as level headed, valiant and kind. . . . Keough approaches the episode with respectful levity, the best tool available to members of a dysfunctional family. . . . Presley still gets a word in here and there, and these passages show how determined she was to stand up to her demons.”The New York Times


“When her actor daughter, Riley Keough, writes that she wants Lisa Marie to emerge from the pages of the memoir as a ‘three-dimensional character’, she’s not kidding . . . it’s clear that Presley was nothing if not radically honest. It’s also striking how Keough seems to almost plead with the reader to understand and love her mother as much as she does. Ultimately, this is a book built on grief: Lisa Marie Presley’s for her father and son, but also a daughter’s for her mother.”The Guardian

“The book is of two minds: It’s an unadorned, conversational memoir that’s more matter of fact than gossipy, little interested in preserving what her father’s biographer Peter Guralnick once called ‘the dreary bondage of myth.’ And it’s a frank, almost unbearably heavy meditation on grief. . . . Stunningly candid . . . Both women write gracefully about the unbearable, immovable heaviness of grief. Keough’s portrait of her mother in her final months is especially indelible. ‘I had mistakenly thought she was so strong-minded that nothing could ever truly hobble her,’ she writes. ‘But of course it could. Enough pain can hobble anyone.’”The Washington Post

Beautiful and moving

I listened to the (excellent) audio version of this memoir, narrated by Julia Roberts and Riley Keough, and interspersed with audio clips from Lisa Marie Presley that she recorded as part of her book preparations. Lisa Marie, having reached out to her daughter, Riley, for help in pulling the final book together, unfortunately passed before she could see it through. The resulting work, made even more engaging with her daughter’s involvement, is equal parts the compelling and heartbreaking story of Lisa Marie’s troubled life, and a moving exposé of mothers and their daughters - awe-inspiring when it works out (as it does, so beautifully here with Lisa Marie and Riley), and tragically corrosive when it does not (as revealed by Lisa Marie regarding her often caustic relationship with her own mother, Priscilla Presley).

I could not put this book down. Prior to this read, I did not have a great deal of knowledge about Lisa Marie’s life, and found the memoir coverage of her early years particularly absorbing. Without looking to reveal any dramatic spoilers here, the book begins with Lisa Marie’s birth at Graceland, and stretches to include her mutual adoration with an Elvis still in his prime, her parents divorce when she was four years old, and the details of her childhood shared between Graceland and LA, and characterized by non-existent levels of supervision or structure.

Certainly the most tragic element of the book is Lisa Marie’s terrifying exposure to the declining, drug-addled Elvis, (still, as always, adored) and his hugely traumatic death when she was nine years old — an event that teems with the rawness of a life-long devastating impact on Lisa Marie.

The book, broad in scope and fascinating in the level of its coverage, carries on to explore how Lisa Marie grows up, from wild child, to angry teen, to experiencing her own traumas, coupled with years of addiction, and eventual motherhood, to her strange marriage to an even stranger Michael Jackson. Lisa explores a music career (she is conflicted about this), followed by her own gradual and perhaps inevitable decline. Along the way Lisa marries and divorces, yet maintains a persistently life-central relationship with her much-loved, hippy-dippy Danny Keough.

A truly wonderful book, I loved both the literary content and this particular audio rendition, finding the vocals (particularly Riley’s) perfect when combined with the absolutely heart-breaking intimacy of the text. Lisa Marie’s somewhat ghostly comments, spoken with what feels like her trademark prescience, resignation, and stoicism, literally gave me chills.

Highly recommended, this book is an incredibly generous gift from Lisa Marie, and her daughter, looking to help at least one other person on their own traumatic and painful addiction journey.

Heartbreaking

Firstly, I believe Julia Roberts was not the right choice for the narration, as I felt she failed to capture the essence of the story. My heart goes out to Riley, Ben, and Lisa Marie, who clearly lacked the support and understanding they needed in their childhood. The struggles with drugs and the toxic environment they faced severely limited their chances for a better life. Despite the challenges, Riley has emerged as a truly grounded individual, and her relationship with her mother is remarkable. I genuinely wish Riley and her sisters and Danny Keough an abundance of love, light, and healing. We all have our unique journeys of growth and learning. Thank you for sharing this with us. Not a fan of Priscilla somewhat toxic

Lisa Marie

I wasn't aware of her full story and it makes me sad to know that mental illness took hold of her as well as her young son.
