You may not have yet heard of Daisy Jones and The Six, but with a publishers’ lead title, celebrity endorsements and an Amazon Prime TV series in the pipeline, chances are that by the end of the year you’ll want to track down Daisy’s music and play it, even though the fabulous 1970s songbird has never existed.
Daisy’s creator, Taylor Jenkins Reid will be more familiar to US readers than UK ones; Daisy Jones and The Six is the first of her six novels to be published in the UK. It’s a showstopping introduction to her though: a wholly immersive fiction, told as oral history, through first-person interviews with everyone who was there, about the tangled relationships behind the Stevie Nicks-like figure of Daisy and the rise to fame of a band of country rock superstars.
