 *NATIONAL BESTSELLER*

A PARADE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR
A NEW YORK POST BEST BOOK OF THE WEEK

In her first novel inspired by a true story, Jane Green re-imagines the life of troubled icon Talitha Getty in this transporting story from a forgotten chapter of the Swinging '60s

From afar Talitha's life seemed perfect. In her twenties, and already a famous model and actress, she moved from London to a palace in Marrakesh, with her husband Paul Getty, the famous oil heir. There she presided over a swirling ex-pat scene filled with music, art, free love and a counterculture taking root across the world.

When Claire arrives in London from her small town, she never expects to cross paths with a woman as magnetic as Talitha Getty. Yearning for the adventure and independence, she's swept off to Marrakesh, where the two become kindred spirits. But beneath Talitha's glamourous facade lurks a darkness few can understand. As their friendship blossoms and the two grow closer, the realities of Talitha's precarious existence set off a chain of dangerous events that could alter Claire's life forever.

I really enjoyed this book which gave a great overview of living in London in the 60’s when sex, drugs and rock and roll became so important. I liked the characters and it was well read. Talita was a fabulous character and it was interesting how the author wove real life people into a made-up narrative. I highly recommend this.

I’m half way through this book at the moment and I’m enjoying every single moment. The only thing that spoils it is – and I’m really sorry to say this – the narrator. When reading in her normal voice, she’s great, but her accents keep getting mixed up. Every now and again her Dorset accent will become Irish and it’s a little irritating. Also, there is no such word as mis-chee-vee-us, a mis-pronunciation I notice in many many audiobooks. Other than that the story is fantastic, and having grown up near Yeovil, it’s easy for me to imagine a lot of the settings. Don’t let me put you off listening. It’s well worth it.

Lovely story, narrator great, but accents not her strongpoint

I have been a huge fan of Jane Green for years and have read every book she has written but this one was so disappointing. I enjoyed the first half of the story but the rest.. .....What was the rest????

Very disappointing despite brilliant narration
