Inspired by true events, best‐selling Green (The Friends We Keep) tells the story of Talitha Getty, a famous actress and model married to wealthy oil heir Paul Getty. She presides over a group of people caught up in the swinging 1960s scene of free love, art, and music. Young, sheltered Claire first meets Talitha in London, but follows her to Marrakesh and gets swept up in the glitz and glamor of the life of the young, rich, and famous found there. Soon they connect in an unexpected way, but the dark side of the lifestyle shocks Claire. This lush coming-of-age story set in a time where anything goes showcases not only the actual landscape of London and Marrakesh, but that of the countercultural scene of the 1960s. Talented narrator Fiona Hardingham deftly handles the various accents and dialects of everyone from Mick Jagger to Talitha.
VERDICT Listeners will be swept up into the storytelling and the lifestyle of the ’60s in which people, especially women, were free to live and love any way they chose.
