A trip down memory lane. Buy Frances Lynn's first novel "Frantic," a fictionalised chronicle about the early '70s. A nostalgic trip for '70s survivors, and a revelation for their children, who missed out on the golden age of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.

Author Frances Lynn started writing "Frantic" in London during the early '70's. Her then boyfriend lived in the basement of David Hockney’s House in Notting Hill Gate. It was the most exciting nightclub in town. Famous members of the Rock Music, Fashion and Art worlds congregated in Hockney's basement nightly. Keith Richards and Ronnie Woods of The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Bryan Ferry, fashion designer Ossie Clark, and Manolo Blahnik, the international shoe designer were frequent visitors.

Frances Lynn was also inspired by her trip to San Francisco in 1970, when the revolutionary theatre group, The Cockettes were all the rage. She thought they were so exciting, she wrote about their legendary, glitter drenched shows at the Palace Theatre in North Beach.

She showed her manuscript to Pete Townshend of The Who, while he was moonlighting as the literary editor at Faber & Faber. "I recognise everybody in the book," he told her. The author heeded his criticism and completely re-wrote the book, finally finishing "Frantic" in 2006.

Frances Lynn has a distinctive style of writing. Her iconoclastic tale of a wild girl's rapid decline in the social hell-holes of San Francisco and London during the early '70s, makes gruesome reading. "Frantic" does have an upbeat ending, however. "It’s a good read," says publisher Curt Eiworth. "It’s the best book I've read about the early Seventies," says another reader who survived those insane times.
