A queen of punk before her time. A duo on the brink of stardom. A night that will define their story for ever. When the aspiring British singer/songwriter Neville Charles discovers the fierce and unconventional Opal one night, she takes him up on his offer to make rock music together. Decades later, as Opal considers a 2016 reunion with Nev, music journalist S. Sunny Shelton seizes the chance to curate an oral history about her idols. As her interviews dig deeper, a nasty new allegation from an unexpected source threatens everything. Provocative and haunting, THE FINAL REVIVAL OF OPAL & NEV by Dawnie Walton introduces a bold new name in contemporary fiction with a heroine the likes of which we've not seen in storytelling. THE FINAL REVIVAL OF OPAL & NEV hits stores this week! Link in bio. @dawniewalton #opalandnev
