Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'A thrilling work' TA-NEHISI COATES'Lovely and lyrical . . . warm and wonderful' KILEY REID'An absolutely brilliant book' SARA COLLINSA queen of punk before her time. A duo on the brink of stardom. A night that will define their story for ever.Opal is a fiercely independent young woman pushing against the grain in her style and attitude, a Black punk artist before her time. Despite her unconventional looks, Opal believes she can be a star. So when the aspiring British singer/songwriter Neville Charles discovers her one night, she takes him up on his offer to make rock music together.In early seventies New York City, just as she's finding her niche as part of a flamboyant and funky creative scene, a rival band signed to her label brandishes a Confederate flag at a promotional concert. Opal's bold protest and the violence that ensues set off a chain of events that will not only change the lives of those she loves, but also be a deadly reminder that repercussions are always harsher for women, especially Black women, who dare to speak their truth.Decades later, as Opal considers a 2016 reunion with Nev, music journalist S. Sunny Shelton seizes the chance to curate an oral history about her idols. Sunny thought she knew most of the stories leading up to the cult duo's most politicized chapter, but as her interviews dig deeper, a nasty new allegation from an unexpected source threatens everything.Provocative and haunting, The Final Revival of Opal & Nev introduces a bold new name in contemporary fiction and a heroine the likes of which we've not seen in storytelling.'As musical and revolutionary in tone and structure as it is in content . . . it tells the truth. A truth that bangs' JASON REYNOLDS'A marvelous musical tale of friendship, betrayal, and the power that comes with self-reclamation. This story will stay with me for many years to come' LAYLA SAAD'Fantastic. What I love most of all about this book, though, is the way Walton quite literally inserts a strong, bold Black rock musician into a history that's often discouraged us from shining, or from even entering at all. Magical' ZAKIYA DALILA HARRIS'A packed time capsule that doubles as a stick of dynamite' NEW YORK TIMES'An absorbing tale bursting with colour' COSMOPOLITAN'One of the books of the year' STYLIST'An utterly fresh take on finding one's voice' O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE A poignant fictional oral history of the beloved rock 'n' roll duo who shot to fame in the 1970s New York, and the dark, fraught secret that lies at the peak of their stardom.
