#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.

Reviews for Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me

[T]he appeal of Wonderful Tonight is as self-evident as the seemingly simple but brash opening chord of 'A Hard Day's Night'... a charming, lively and seductive book, and like all good memoirs it also works as a cultural history... The prose is clear and unpretentious, and although she writes candidly about the pain her husbands ' infidelities caused her...this isn't a bitter tell-all. There's an aura of sweetness around Boyd's approach. <br>-- New York Times Book Review <br> A scrumptious memoir...There is exactly one big question for Ms. Boyd to answer here: What made her leave Mr. Harrison for Mr. Clapton, her husband's close friend? To its credit the book answers that question plausibly and fully. <br>-- The New York Times <br> They say if you can remember the '60s, you weren't really there. Well, Pattie Boyd was there, and she remembers it all. Wonderful Tonight is a unique gospel of a turbulent time by someone who was in the very eye of the rock 'n' roll hurricane.
