reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


Wonderful Tonight is an inside look into life in the sixties by one of it's "beautiful people". Patti Boyd, a London model and first wife of George Harrison, recalls their courtship and marriage, and eventual divorce, after super guitarist Eric Clapton finally succeeds in seducing his best friend's wife into being with him.With, at least three, love songs written for her and known throughout the world, Patti is a woman of legend. Patti is not exempt from the pain and disappointment of the effects of lonliness, infidelity, miscarriage, a loved one's chemical addictions and unbelievably, her low self-esteem. This is an engaging story that proves that came and fortune doesn't exclude you from the realities of life.
