Description
Emerging from London’s psychedelic swirl in 1967, a band with big dreams—fronted by folk singer Elf Holloway and driven by the restless talents of Dean Moss and Jasper de Zoet—blazes from Soho’s seedy clubs to the bright glare of *Top of the Pops* and the precarious edge of chart success. As their story widens across Europe and then into America’s mythic music country, fame proves less a destination than a shifting bargain, shadowed by madness, fractured loyalties, and the families we choose—or abandon. David Mitchell’s kaleidoscopic, voice-rich style turns the band’s turbulent rise into a meditation on idealism and its costs, where music becomes both salvation and trap. With each new chapter of their journey, the novel asks what’s real when the voices in your head, the stories you tell, and the legends you sell begin to blur.
