Famous Once

A Short Story

De: Jane Green

Narrado por: Bronwen Price

From New York Times bestselling author Jane Green comes an unforgettable tale of redemption and reunion, where the echoes of rock and roll fame and the secrets that came with it lead a mother and daughter back to each other.

Former model Astrid Lane lives a quiet life as a caterer, far from her days as rock star Callum Blake's famous wife. When a retrospective about the 1970s music scene sparks renewed interest in that era, Astrid's estranged daughter Zara reaches out about a podcast discussing her father's career—and a long-buried tragedy that changed their family forever.

After a mysterious break-in at Astrid's cottage, mother and daughter find themselves drawn into an unexpected collaboration. Through a collection of old recordings and shared memories, they begin piecing together a story that's far bigger than their family's past. What they uncover will shake the foundations of rock music history and the powerful people who shaped it.

But amid the investigation, something unexpected blooms. As Astrid and Zara work to unravel decades-old secrets, they find themselves building something they'd both given up on: the chance to be mother and daughter again, this time on their own terms.

A let down

Can’t believe this is a Jane Green - none of her usual depth, humor or anything. Was a total waste of a credit.

How dumb the story is

After listening to this, I can’t help think, “What was the point of that story!??!” Dumb. Don’t waist an hour of your life
