Set in Liverpool at the height of Beatlemania, this enjoyable fictional autobiography charts ten years in the life of Theodore Hennessy, who, having failed through a series of mishaps to replace Pete Best as the Beatles drummer, sets up his own Merseybeat group, The Nighttime Passengers. Beginning with his first sighting of the beautiful and mysterious Marianne Burgess, the novel charts the course of their turbulent love affair and Theo's increasingly successful career as a musician and music agent, interwoven with the story of the Beatles as seen by one of their most enthusiastic fans. Charles perfectly summons up the heady atmosphere of the time, as youth culture blossomed in a new era of teenage prosperity and independence. The exploits of the fictional characters are always kept at the forefront of the action and yet the influence of John, Paul, George and Ringo is subtly pervasive throughout - much as it was in the Swinging Sixties.
