Why read it?
1 author picked The Final Revival of Opal & Nev as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book piqued my interest because it was on former President Obama’s reading list. On the surface, this is a story about an interracial rock duo’s rise to fame and their breakup. But it is really about how race impacts black women and the choices we have to make that others don’t.
The story is primarily set in the 1970s, and as a baby boomer, I enjoy reading about this time period. In 2016, they considered a reunion, but of course, secrets and unresolved issues got in the way.
From Phyllis' list on Books on musicians for those fascinated with musical history.
