“The Final Revival of Opal & Nev” has been selected as the next read for UNCG’s Alumni and Friends Book Club for June and July.
Review from Goodreads:
“An electrifying novel about the meteoric rise of an iconic interracial rock duo in the 1970s, their sensational breakup, and the dark secrets unearthed when they try to reunite decades later for one last tour. Opal is a fiercely independent young woman pushing against the grain in her style and attitude, Afro-punk before that term existed. Coming of age in Detroit, she can’t imagine settling for a 9-to-5 job—despite her unusual looks, Opal believes she can be a star. So when the aspiring British singer/songwriter Neville Charles discovers her at a bar’s amateur night, she takes him up on his offer to make rock music together for the fledgling Rivington Records.” (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54304125-the-final-revival-of-opal-nev)
