Kip, a lonely provincial boy with a large record collection, comes to London in the early 1980s to enlist as a hack reviewer for a pop weekly - and to fall in love with torch singing vamp Mina. Mina?s cult melange of Goth, Euro-Disco and nihilism becomes the next big thing on both sides of the Atlantic and the besotted Kip?s career soars: while covering Mina?s first US tour, Kip goes into a mental and metaphysical freefall... Barney Hoskyns has written a bittersweet tale of youthful angst which will move anyone who has ever been a pop fan - or had their heart broken.
