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.
Customer Reviews
Amazing
I want to start off by saying that I won this book in a goodreads giveaway. In return for my honest thoughts and review. This is the first book that I have read by this author. Definitely will be reading some of her older and newer books in the future. Which this author has so many books that I have added to my tbr. I wanted to go in reading this book not knowing to much about. I must say when I was in my early 20’s I wanted to be care free. I enjoyed reading this book and how new carefree CeCe became with all these new friends. I didn’t know that this book is based on truth. I honestly never heard of Talitha Getty. I love when you read such a good book that you want to google. Talitha was a beautiful model. When CeCe starts seeing something’s that make her uncomfortable. I highly recommend this book.
About Book:
This book is set in the 60’s in England.
I admire Claire wanting to be carefree. Being kicked out by her step mother. Trying to find herself in this new group of friends with drugs and sex and rock roll and some abuse. Claire even given a new name CeCe. How her relationship with Talitha Getty formed so fast with their connection. And the love they both had for each other. CeCe wanted to learn more about Talitha and be a protector.
I am really glad that I won this book…
