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.
