An unforgettable night in the life of a famous family as their epic end-of-summer party forces them to confront the secrets that shaped their generations.
In August 1983, anticipation is at a fever pitch for the famous Riva siblings' annual end-of-summer party in Malibu. Surfer and supermodel Nina, championship surfer Jay, renowned photographer Hud, and their adored baby sister Kit are a source of worldwide fascination as the offspring of legendary singer Mick Riva. Over the course of twenty-four hours, the alcohol flows, the music plays, and long-held secrets come rising to the surface. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. The narrative explores the heavy legacy of fame and the resilience required to choose what to keep from the people who made you and what to leave behind.
Why You’ll Love This Audiobook
Julia Whelan’s masterful narration brings a grounded authenticity to this atmospheric, character-driven drama. She delivers the material with commanding grace, capturing the complex interpersonal dynamics of the Riva siblings and the high-energy tension of the 1980s surf culture. This 11-hour and 5-minute performance is an excellent choice for listeners interested in the personal history of iconic families and the women who forge their own independent paths.
