"From the author of Exile on Main St. comes A Day in the Life, the story of an ideal marriage between two young, rich, and extraordinarily beautiful members of the English upper class. Their union eventually degenerated into a hellish nightmare of drugs, decadence, madness, and death as the psychedelic dreams of the sixties gave way to the harsh realities of the seventies, and as the international jet set collided head-on with the counterculture." "The supporting cast of characters includes Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg; Mick and Bianca Jagger; Eric Clapton and Alice Ormsby-Gore; George Harrison and the Beatles; actresses Fiona Lewis, Sally Field, and Charlotte Rampling; film directors John Frankenheimer and Lucchino Visconti; LSD guru Timothy Leary and Joanna Harcourt-Smith; and many others."

one family, the beautiful people, and the end of the sixties

"A Day in the Life is also the stirring account of how the couple's two sons - one of whom is actor Jake Weber, currently co-starring with Patricia Arquette on NBC's Medium - somehow managed to survive a childhood that would have destroyed those of lesser spirit."--BOOK JACKET
