Searching for Jimmy Page

The unraveling of 18-year-old Luna Kane’s haunted past begins in the winter of 1988, when her dying great-grandfather, a self-proclaimed faith healer, claims he hears phantom owls crying in the night.

"Them owls, like music. Can you hear the music?" he implores her in his final moments, triggering Luna’s repressed memory of her dead mother’s obsession with Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin’s legendary guitar wizard. Desperate to learn the truth about her mother’s suicide, to tease fact from family lore in order to weave her own personal narrative, Luna embarks on a pilgrimage from her family’s farm in the pines of eastern North Carolina to England, to search for the man whose music her mother held sacred, Jimmy Page.

Totally unique

Even for someone that doesn’t love Zeppelin, this is a really solid novel. The narrator did a great job. I was 100% sucked in. Highly recommend!!

Might be good for a music store …

Too much of this is just lists of songs, descriptions related to album covers all seeped into every corner of the story that could use beautiful prose instead.
