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’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 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.
