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.

It had potential.

This started strong, but the heart of the story was eventually lost. Too many characters for those of us who didn’t know the rockstars of the sixties and seventies.

Wow

Brought back a lot of memories for me! Was quite an era, I’m glad I was young and survived!

Oh, the 60’s!

Take a trip to Marakesh and the exotic sensual scents, tastes and lives of the rich and famous. Jane Green mesmerized me from start to finish.

Why?

I’m trying to remember why I bought this book, assume it was a daily deal. It in no way parallels my favorite genre - mystery and thriller. It was OK, but so far removed from what I am used to, that a true review would not be possible.

Food for thought

Fun story to listen to as sometimes there is a lot we don’t know about our Mother’s life before we called them Mom

surprisingly fun

very open, intimate non judgemental view into the lives of rock stars
try it. you may enjoy it

Sister Stardust! The sixties! I was never there!

One of the best books I have read in a long time. Captures you and keeps you thinking even after it’s end! Five stars

If you like stories about drugs, you’ll like this one.

The author mentions how naive and innocent the main character is throughout the story so that the reader experiences the Rock n’ Roll lifestyle with the main character. Most of the story discusses massive amounts of drugs, wonderment at being part of the lifestyle, and orgies. The story is easy to “read,” and is not complicated. There was too much discussion on naïveté, drugs and orgies, that the remaining storyline did not have enough substance for a good review.

Not a fan

Just couldn’t get into this book. Listened to it til the end but won’t recommend…

Add this to one of my favorites

This book was awesome. Could not stop reading/listening to this book. The characters pull you in and take you on the ride. Left me wanting more. I am grieving the characters. Loved the story
