Daisy is a girl coming of age in L. A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it's the rock 'n' roll she loves most. By the time she's twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things. Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she's pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road. Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend. The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer who takes her work to a new level with Daisy Jones & The Six, brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, comes a breath taking novel about modern marriage, the depth of family ties, and the year that one remarkable heroine spends exploring both.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo; now with a bonus conversation with Julia Whelan and Taylor Jenkins Reid, recorded exclusively for this edition. At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held countless meaningless jobs since graduating college. On the heels of leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby's guestroom. Shortly after getting back to town, Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan. Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she's ready to go. A moment later, Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan? In concurrent storylines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. Quickly, these parallel universes develop into radically different stories with large-scale consequences for Hannah, as well as the people around her. As the two alternate realities run their course, Maybe in Another Life raises questions about fate and true love: Is anything meant to be? How much in our life is determined by chance? And perhaps, most compellingly: Is there such a thing as a soul mate? Hannah believes there is. And, in both worlds, she believes she's found him.

Flera decennier senare minns bandmedlemmarna händelserna som ledde fram till uppbrottet, men deras minnen går isär. Det enda som samtliga är ense om är att från den stunden då Daisy Jones barfota stegade in i deras liv blev ingenting sig likt. Detta är historien om bandets uppgång och dramatiska fall, men framförallt är det en skildring av en grupp vänner under en avgörande period i deras liv. Med Kaliforniens vibrerande rockscen som fond framträder en universell kärlekshistoria och passionerad hyllning till musiken. Daisy Jones & The Six är ett ikoniskt och fängslande porträtt, skrivet som en klassisk rockdokumentär över ett av 70-talets främsta (men aldrig existerande) rockband. Bitterljuvt och ärligt skriver Taylor Jenkins Reid om kärlekens uppoffringar och okuvliga kraft.

En New York Times-bestseller, der viser det skrøbelige menneskeliv bag Hollywood-livets blændende stråleglans. Det aldrende Hollywood-ikon Evelyn Hugo fører en notorisk afsondret tilværelse. Men ud af det blå bebuder hun, at hun endelig er parat til at blotlægge alle slibrige detaljer om sit glamourøse og skandaløse liv. Det skal ske i en række interviews med den ukendte journalist Monique Grant – og ingen er mere overrasket over dette end Monique selv. I skuespillerindens overdådige lejlighed på New Yorks Upper East Side lytter hun til Evelyns fortælling om sit legendariske liv, fra karrierens start i 50’ernes Los Angeles til hendes beslutning om at forlade showbusiness i 80’erne – og selvfølgelig om hendes syv ægtemænd undervejs. Evelyns beretning blotlægger et stjernebestrøet liv med skånselsløs ambition, uventet venskab og en stor, forbudt kærlighed, og Monique begynder så småt at mærke en ægte forbindelse til kvinden bag ikonet. Men efterhånden som fortællingen om for- tiden indhenter nutiden står det klart, at Evelyns og Moniques liv er forbundne på tragisk og uigenkaldelig vis. Evelyn Hugos syv ægtemænd er skrevet med Taylor Jenkins Reids karakteristiske talent for at skabe komplekse figurer, som læseren instinktivt holder med og af. Samtidig er det en fascinerende rejse gennem det gamle Hollywoods mytologiske stjerneglans og ud på den anden side til en barsk virkelig- hed, hvor to kvinder må kæmpe med, hvad det vil sige at stå ansigt til ansigt med sandheden. Og ikke mindst hvad det vil kræve af dem begge.

Daisy Jones & The Six er et stærkt portræt af en tid, der fandtes engang, et band, der aldrig gjorde, og en kvinde, der tør insistere på sit talent, sin lykke og ikke mindst sig selv. Daisy vokser op i L. A. i slutningen af tresserne. Hun er fascineret af sex og stoffer, men det er rock'n'roll, hun for alvor har tabt sit hjerte til, og endelig begynder hendes stemme at nå de rette ører. Med den plagede forsanger Billy Dunne i spidsen står bandet The Six også på tærsklen til det store gennembrud, men det øgede pres tærer hårdt på Billy, der nemt fortaber sig i musikbranchens mørke sider. Da Daisy og Billys enestående talenter forenes bliver resultatet en eksplosiv succes – den slags, der øjeblikkeligt danner legender. Daisy Jones & The Six befolkes af et farverigt persongalleri, der hver især beretter om bandets vej til berømmelsens tinder.

"Minua ei kiinnostanut vähääkään olla jonkun toisen muusa. Minä en ole muusa. Minä olen se joku." Näin sanoo Daisy Jones, 70-luvun rockmaailman myyttinen, valovoimainen ikoni. Los Angelesissa seksin, huumeiden ja aivan ennen kaikkea rock'n'rollin voimalla kasvaneen nuoren naisen poikkeuksellinen ääni ja luonnonlapsenomainen kauneus toivat hänet valokeilaan jo varhain. Tähti hänestä tuli, kun tuottaja tajusi laittaa hänet lavalle yhdessä nosteessa olevan The Sixin kanssa. Kaikki tietävät, että Daisy Jones & The Sixin ällistyttävä menestystarina päättyi sokeeraavasti bändin hajottua suosionsa huipulla. Nyt on aika kertoa koko kunnianhimoa, intohimoa, sydänsurua ja musiikkia sykkivä tarina noususta tuhoon. Los Angelesissa asuvan Taylor Jenkins Reidin Daisy Jones & The Six on fiktiivisen päähenkilönsä lailla ilmiömäinen menestystarina. New York Times ja Sunday Times -myyntihitti valittiin lukuisille vuoden parhaiden kirjojen listoille, ja GoodReadsin käyttäjät äänestivät sen vuoden parhaaksi historialliseksi romaaniksi. Siitä on tekeillä Reese Witherspoonin tuottama tv-sarja." Daisy Jones & The Six antaa yllättävän lahjan: anteeksipyytelemättömän, kaiken kyynisyyden unohtavan rakkauden 1970-luvun rock'n'rolliin, leveine lahkeineen päivineen."- New York Times Book Review
