Mayluna: A Novel

A legendary band, an iconic lead singer, and their mysterious connection to a woman whose love helped create the music of a generation. Timing is everything in a powerful novel about fate, regret, and moving on by the author of A Day Like This.

In the 1990s, Carter Wills was the lead singer of the English alt-rock band Mayluna, securing his place among music legends. His tortured-heart lyrics struck a chord. And so did his secret connection to a woman whose love changed all their lives. Who was she?

Evie Waters's two grown children discover an iconic photo in an old magazine of a "mystery girl" with Carter: their mother. It all started in a wistful time and place for Evie, her twenty-fifth summer. A young columnist forging her career. Backstage euphoria. A long-shot interview. And an almost cosmic connection with an enigmatic musician on the rise.

What happened between them is a hidden story no one, not even Evie's family, knows. Until now. Worlds apart, Carter and Evie finally reveal the story--joyful, regretful, and unforgettable. It was a time when the stars aligned for a love so profound the whole world felt it. It was as if it would last forever.

If Penny Lane from Almost Famous told her kids about the summer she spent with the band. This was so charming and romantic and heart wrenching. Absolutely loved it. I had a bit of a hard time keeping up with the way it was written. Seemed to not be consistent with 1st person vs 3rd person but that didn’t detract from the story.
