Sister Stardust by Jane Green

"New York Times bestselling author Jane Green reimagines the glamorous and tragic life of fashion icon and socialite Talitha Getty...When Claire arrives in Marrakesh, she’s swept up in a heady world of music, drugs and communal living. But one magnetic young woman seems to hold sway over the entire scene. Talitha Getty, socialite wife of a famous oil heir, has pulled everyone from Yves Saint Laurent to Marianne Faithfull into her orbit. Yet when she meets Claire, the pair instantly connect. As they grow closer, and the inner circle tightens, the realities of Talitha’s precarious life set off a chain of dangerous events that could alter Claire’s life forever." Publisher.

The story covers the life of Talitha, set in the 60's, married to an oil heir. The story covers sex, drugs and rock and roll and it is slow to get through and the story is nothing special.

The first part of the book is very readable but nothing special. The second half for me just glorified the 60's excessive lifestyle of drugs, sex and eating disorders.

Themes: 60’s, Biographical fiction.
