Description:
An iconic figure of the 1960s and '70s, Boyd breaks a 40-year silence in "Wonderful Tonight," and tells the story of how she found herself bound to two of the most addictive, promiscuous musical geniuses of the 20th century and became the most famous muse in the history of rock and roll.
Review Quotes: "A scrumptious memoir . . . There is exactly one big question for Ms. Boyd to answer here: What made her leave Mr. Harrison for Mr. Clapton, her husband's close friend? To its credit the book answers that question plausibly and fully."--The New York Times
"The appeal of Wonderful Tonight is as self-evident as the seemingly simple but brash opening chord of 'A Hard Day's Night.' . . . A charming, lively, and seductive book . . . this isn't a bitter tell-all. There's an aura of sweetness around Boyd's approach."--The New York Times Book Review
"Boyd finally answers some of those questions [about George Harrison and Eric Clapton]--but on her own terms."
--USA Today "Sixties model Pattie Boyd opens up about her rocky relationships with two of music's most famed performers."
--Harper's Bazaar "[
Wonderful Tonight] will thrill classic-rock buffs with a taste for scandal."
--Entertainment Weekly "A backstage pass into a life with icons and iconic songs. As open and honest as an acoustic performance, Boyd shares the tumult and happiness of her life."
--On-the-Town magazine "They say if you can remember the '60s, you weren't really there. Well, Pattie Boyd was there, and she remembers it all.
Wonderful Tonight is a unique gospel of a turbulent time by someone who was in the very eye of the rock 'n' roll hurricane."
--Sydney Morning Herald "Pattie Boyd married two sixties legends and inspired three of the era's greatest love songs, but life was far from glamorous. The ex-wife of George Harrison and Eric Clapton speaks out in this compelling autobiography.
--Sunday Times (London) "There are so many wonderful stories in Pattie Boyd's life: Falling in love with a Beatle. Falling in love with another famous rock star, Eric Clapton, and being serenaded with 'Wonderful Tonight.' . . . There is much that is excruciating in her life story . . . but here she is: not dead, not on drugs, not an alcoholic, but a survivor."
--Daily Mail (London)
