The Final Revival of Opal and Nev by Dawnie Walton

Yaa and Lauryn are OBSESSED! 

The Final Revival of Opal and Nev is the story of the biggest Rock duo of the 70s. As they prepare for a 2016 reunion, music journalist S. Sunny Shelton, who has a special connection to Opal, seizes the chance to curate an oral history about her idols. Sunny thought she knew most of the stories leading up to the cult duo’s most politicized chapter. But as her interviews dig deeper, a nasty new allegation from an unexpected source threatens to blow up everything.

Told with a daring structure and filled with a chorus of unforgettable voices, Dawnie Walton immerses you in a story which is both provocative and chilling while saying very important things about artistry, politics and the way repercussions are always harsher for women, especially black women, who dare to speak their truth.
