But upon arriving at the reflective age of fifty, I found myself drawn, for the first time, to write long passages that were as stimulating and intriguing to me as any songwriting I had ever done."And so Broken Music began to take shape. It is a book about the early part of my life, from childhood through adolescence, right up to the eve of my success with the Police. It is a story very few people know."I had no interest in writing a traditional autobiographical recitation of everything that’s ever happened to me. Instead, I found myself drawn to exploring specific moments, certain people and relationships, and particular events which still resonate powerfully for me as I try to understand the child I was, and the man I became." - from preface.Sting's distinctive signature – (2 copies with a smiley face, one without) - upon title page.Softcover with a photo of the young Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner on the front and a photo of the musician known as Sting on the rear cover.
