"Maman..." is a book written with love and deep gratitude to the woman with whom Sylvie Vartan had a particularly strong connection. Along with the image of Ilona, who lived a hard life, but never complained, the great singer presents her own tribulations and successes and tells about: the beginning of her singing career and her heyday, her marriages with Johnny Hallyday and Tony Scotti, her father, her brother, her children, the days and years she has lived by her beloved mother. "Maman..." is an exciting testament to the power of love and courage of people who are forced by circumstances to lead a life of exile.
Sylvie Vartan (born 15 August 1944) is a Bulgarian-French singer. She is known as one of the most productive and tough-sounding yé-yé artists. Her performances often featured elaborate show-dance choreography, and she made many appearances on French and Italian TV. Yearly shows with then-husband Johnny Hallyday attracted full houses at the Olympia and the Palais des congrès de Paris throughout the 1960s and mid-1970s. In 2004, after a break in performances, she began recording and giving concerts of jazz ballads in francophone countries.
