This was a Christmas present from Space-Cat, and a very enjoyable book it is too. Here's the blurb:
'It's 1979 and Linda Tyler is an assistant cook, engaged to a bank clerk in a sleepy town called Withingdean, when she answers an ad in a music paper. SUddenly, she gets the job that everyone else in England wants.
Within weeks, her life changes beyond recognition. She finds herself in London, working as a music journalist on NWW, a Punk and New Wave music magazine. Free records by Blondie, Squeeze and The Clash land on her desk, and her name is permanently on the guest list.
Before the year is out she will be propositioned by four members of staff (including the work experience boy) and meet some rising stars (and occasionally spill Knickerbocker Glory on them). Along the way, though, Linda Tyler will also discover who and what she loves most - and make the most important decision of her life.'
347pp, paperback

Received early this week - thank you! Love the bookmark you made and enclosed with it :-)
An enjoyable and easy read. The main character, Linda, reminded me of my best friend at school! The only thing that I didn't like about this book was how Linda's fellow music writer, Jon Witters, repeatedly slated acts that have since become household names and very sucessful. It kind of got on my nerves by the end of the book! Otherwies it was an enjoyable, if unremarkable, read.
