Publisher's Synopsis

The summer Elvis and Marc Bolan die, a new star is born ... and this is his story: a tale of fate, loss and rock 'n' roll, Diamond Star Halo shows what happens when a family and a farm become the breeding ground for fame Growing up in a rural recording studio, Halo Llewellyn is rarely star-struck, but when one of the visiting singers gives birth to Fred, she knows right away that he's special. As the golden child grows into the gilded man, she remains dazzled by his ambition and his talent. Up on stage, being screamed at by hundreds of teenage girls, Fred will always turn his spotlight on Halo in the crowd. But that's the problem with falling in love with your charismatic almost-brother - it can never be a secret. In the end, the whole world has to know. "A touching family chronicle with an impeccable soundtrack, this is Cider with Rosie for rock 'n' rollers" Mark Radcliffe "A beautiful, pitch-perfect harmony of Wuthering Heights and your favourite mix tape" Owen Sheers
