the glamorous and tragic life of counterculture icon, socialite and
Rolling Stones muse Talitha Getty.”—Parade
“Chock-full of vibrant historical details about London and Morocco
in the 1960s, Green’s first foray into historical fiction does not
disappoint…Green portrays the scenery and atmosphere so vividly

intoxicating saga inspired by the true story of icon Talitha
Getty."—Woman's World
"What a gem—a treasure chest of a novel full of decadence, glamor,
and the best kind of heartache. Like the reader, our narrator
Claire is quickly swept into the intoxicating social circle of Paul
and Talitha Getty, who are as sophisticated and dazzling as they
are doomed. I felt like I too was in late-sixties London and
Morocco, dabbling in drugs and illicit romance, rubbing elbows with
the Rolling Stones and other luminaries. Jane Green's novel is a
joy and a pleasure, and a wonderful reminder of why we read—Sister
Stardust is as close as we can get to time travel."—Emilie Sommer,
East City Bookshop, Washington D.C.
"Jane Green's biopic of Talitha Getty is knock your socks off
fiction. This coming of age story set among the decadent rock &
roll era of the 1960's, and the glamorous but ill fated characters
of the time, will sweep readers away to another time and place. Hop
on this 'Marrakesh Express' and immerse yourself in a delight for
the senses."—Pamela Klinger-Horn, Valley Bookseller, Stillwater, M
