#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For the first time, rock music’s most famous muse tells her incredible story “A charming, lively and seductive book . . . The appeal of Wonderful Tonight is as self-evident as the seemingly simple but brash opening chord of ‘A Hard Day’s Night.’”—The New York Times Book Review Pattie Boyd, former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, finally breaks a forty-year silence and tells the story of how she found herself bound to two of the most addictive, promiscuous musical geniuses of the twentieth century and became the most legendary muse in the history of rock and roll. The woman who inspired Harrison’s song “Something” and Clapton’s anthem “Layla,” Pattie Boyd has written a book that is rich and raw, funny and heartbreaking—and totally honest.

Wonderful Tonight is set against a background of rural Norfolk during the Thatcherite years and deliberately follows a pivotal year in the life of Stuart Harvey who is essentially ‘Mr. Average’ and father of two. Stuart is however considered an above average teacher who due to accumulated frustrations within his profession undergoes a gradual epiphany and despite the economic harshness of the times decides to give up the relative safety of his teaching career. The first part of the novel which is deliberately written in an ‘easy-read’ and hopefully humorous style charts Stuarts growing disillusion with the education system and onto the realization that despite everything indicating otherwise, he wants to follow his long-suppressed desire to play the guitar in a band. The novel then builds through the establishment of the band and onto their first successful gig using ‘Clem’, Stuart’s guitar-playing alter-ego to comment on the experience. Harsh economic reality begins to dawn on Stuart and after a disastrous gig in rural Lincolnshire, which touches on his previous world, the band effectively disintegrates leaving Stuart adrift in the wreckage of his decision to quit teaching. The second part of the novel reflects the darker part of the journey as he fails to find employment and also fails to appreciate his wife's relative career success. Within this family vacuum a potential problem with Stuart's eldest daughter goes unnoticed and Stuart is forced to reflect on his contribution to the family’s predicament as it begins to degenerate towards dysfunction. A chance meeting leads to Stuart’s life resuming some semblance of normality and effectively saves his family and thus his journey ends with a sense of optimism. Wonderful Tonight is named after an Eric Clapton track popular on set lists of the time and usually played as a final number. A glossary of terms is included for the benefit of those who did not live through and experience the lifestyle of these times. “A riveting good read in every sense” The South Norfolk magazine for light engineering brackets “The creation of Clem as a subjugated and subliminal ultra-ego (or id?) is a literary masterpiece but possibly indicates the schizophrenic tendencies of the author himself.” The Leighton Buzzard Journal of Psycho-therapy

With striking intimacy and candor, Eric Clapton tells the story of his eventful and inspiring life in this poignant and honest autobiography. More than a rock star, Eric Clapton is an icon, a living embodiment of the history of rock music. Well known for his reserve in a profession marked by self-promotion, flamboyance, and spin, he now chronicles, for the first time, his remarkable personal and professional journeys. Born illegitimate in 1945 and raised by his grandparents, Eric never knew his father and, until the age of nine, believed his actual mother to be his sister. In his early teens his solace was the guitar, and his incredible talent would make him a cult hero in the clubs of Britain and inspire devoted fans to scrawl “Clapton is God” on the walls of London’s Underground. With the formation of Cream, the world's first supergroup, he became a worldwide superstar, but conflicting personalities tore the band apart within two years. His stints in Blind Faith, in Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, and in Derek and the Dominos were also short-lived but yielded some of the most enduring songs in history, including the classic “Layla.” During the late sixties he played as a guest with Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan, as well as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and longtime friend George Harrison. It was while working with the latter that he fell for George’s wife, Pattie Boyd, a seemingly unrequited love that led him to the depths of despair, self-imposed seclusion, and drug addiction. By the early seventies he had overcome his addiction and released the bestselling album 461 Ocean Boulevard, with its massive hit “I Shot the Sheriff.” He followed that with the platinum album Slowhand, which included “Wonderful Tonight,” the touching love song to Pattie, whom he finally married at the end of 1979. A short time later, however, Eric had replaced heroin with alcohol as his preferred vice, following a pattern of behavior that not only was detrimental to his music but contributed to the eventual breakup of his marriage. In the eighties he would battle and begin his recovery from alcoholism and become a father. But just as his life was coming together, he was struck by a terrible blow: His beloved four-year-old son, Conor, died in a freak accident. At an earlier time Eric might have coped with this tragedy by fleeing into a world of addiction. But now a much stronger man, he took refuge in music, responding with the achingly beautiful “Tears in Heaven.” Clapton is the powerfully written story of a survivor, a man who has achieved the pinnacle of success despite extraordinary demons. It is one of the most compelling memoirs of our time.
