Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys

The London 70s punk story has been told many times, but not like this. Viv Albertine was involved with many of the names you'd know, and also in her own band, the fabulous and unconventional Slits. This is the meat of the first part of the book, but the second, less glamorous, half is just as compelling, as Albertine opts for a life of domesticity and encounters some awful traumas before a hard fought artistic rebirth. A good book from an unashamedly strong female perspective. I'll give this to my daughter to read (but not for a few years yet).
