About this listen
Perfect for fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid & A Star is Born, get swept away to the summer of love with this unforgettable, escapist hit…
_________________________________________________________________
‘If you enjoyed Daisy Jones and The Six, this will be a big hit with you too’ Red
‘Utterly transporting’ Stylist
The summer of 1969: Rising singer-songwriters Jane Quinn and Jesse Reid looked untouchable.
Captivating crowds in festival meadows, lighting up turntables, intoxicating fans from coast to coast.
It was a connection that inspired the greatest love songs.
But nothing lasts forever.
Beneath the hits that made them, a dark secret threatened to break them. Now it’s time to hear the whole story, finally revealed in Jane’s iconic album, Songs in Ursa Major . . .

Well written and performed.
A future classic? this well written and performed book is especially moving for anyone who was a fan of the music that plays such an important roll. For those too young to remember, it is an opportunity to listen to Joni Mitchell's Blue album with fresh ears.
