Read this for book club. Really interesting and loved the way she told the story from the points of view of so many people. Did it very successfully. I thought the book dragged a bit here and there, but really glad I read it.
Here is a synopsis from bookrags:
The book is presented as an oral history comprised of interviews with the various characters involved in the story. The novel follows Opal Robinson (stage name Opal Jewel) and Neville “Nev” Charles. Opal is a Black woman from Detroit, and Nev is a white man from England. Opal and Nev, both musicians, became collaborators around the year 1970. The events that followed became significant not only to the history of rock music, but also the history of the United States. The novel explores themes such as racism, white privilege, art, politics, and memory.
