Emerging from London's psychedelic scene in 1967, Utopia Avenue is fronted by folk singer Elf Holloway, blues bassist Dean Moss, and guitar virtuoso Jasper de Zoet. In this kaleidoscopic novel—a Book of the Year for NPR, Washington Post, and London's Guardian, the author of Cloud Atlas follows the band as it achieves international stardom, and makes the Faustian pact that will be their undoing.
