Pattie Boyd was the Queen of the Sixties and beyond... a drop-dead gorgeous model, photographer, and the inspiration for the timeless songs Something, Layla and Wonderful Tonight.
Her story is one of drama, struggle and, ultimately, affirmation, but her struggles against addiction, tragedy, and infertility were lived with two of the twentieth century's greatest musical icons: her husbands George Harrison and Eric Clapton.
Living at the heart of the Sixties revolution of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, Pattie's story is electric. What was the truth about the bizarre love triangle with George and Eric? Why did the greatest love story of the age end in tears?
Written with the acclaimed biographer and journalist Penny Junor, Wonderful Today is rich and raw, funny, heartbreaking and heartwarming. Pattie's story of love, loss and addiction is a moving example of the heartbreak that so often lies behind the fairy-tale façade.
