Today it is my absolute pleasure to bring you the cover reveal for the fothcoming, bound to be a blockbusting chart topper of a novel, ‘Songs In Ursa Major’ by Emma Brodie!
If you happened to be a fan ‘The Girls’ by Emma Cline (check!)
If you devoured every page of ‘Daisy Jones and the Six’ by Taylor Jenkins Reid (hell yeah!)
If you love books with a (tie)dyed in the wool retro feel that brings to mind hazy summer days, tunes that carry you through the moments of your life mingling with classic music figures like Joni Mitchell, then the chances are super high that you will love this book.
Let’s find out a little more…
Behind every greatest hit, is an even greater love story.
Set against the heady haze of the 70s and alive with music, sex and sun-soaked hedonism, SONGS IN URSA MAJOR is an unforgettable debut and the soundtrack to a love story like no other.
THE SUMMER OF 1969
From the moment Jane Quinn steps barefoot onto the main stage at Island Folk festival, her golden hair glinting, her vocals soaring into the summer dusk, a star is born – and so is a passionate love story.
Jane and her band head on tour with Jesse Reid – the musician who’s burning blue eyes set hearts alight everywhere. Lost in the thrill of the road, the wild nights and magenta sunsets, Jane is pulled into the orbit of Jessie’s star.
But Jesse’s rise might mean Jane’s fall. And when she discovers a dark secret hiding beneath his music, she picks up her guitar and writes the album that could make or break her: Songs in Ursa Major.
Published on June 24th by Harper Collins, let ‘Songs In Ursa Major‘ be the soundtrack to the summer of 2021, it is coming out just in time for lockdown to be lifted, best enjoyed with a picnic and wine in your nearest park, or relaxing on a beach.
