The Final Revival of Opal & Nev (by Dawnie Walton)

This is a faux oral history in the style of Daisy Jones and the Six about a Black woman who teams up with a white, English singer-songwriter in the 1970s.  It interweaves many real events, musicians, and bands from the time period and beyond.  The "author" is an editor of a Rolling Stone-style magazine whose father (a drummer, also Black) died in a riot at one of Opal & Nev's concerts. We get her story as interstitial "editor's notes" between chapters.

The result is an immersive and gripping read. with revelations I wasn't expecting.  I also thought Walton did a great job making the interview snippets and "oral history" parts seem very authentic.  For example whenever I read a quote that uses [brackets] I always like to go back and think about what the original sentence was. (Does anyone else do this?) This always seemed well thought out and made total sense although of course there were no "original" quotes. It adds to the verisimilitude of the interviews. 

Definitely recommended as an enjoyable read.
