"Lola Bensky is a nineteen-year-old rock journalist who irons her hair straight and
asks a lot of questions. A high-school dropout, she's not sure how she got the job
- but she's been sent by her Australian newspaper right to the heart of the London
music scene at the most exciting time in music history: 1967. Lola spends her days
planning diets and interviewing rock stars. In London, Mick Jagger makes her a cup
of tea, Jimi Hendrix (possibly) propositions her and Cher borrows her false eyelashes.
At the Monterey International Pop Festival, Lola props up Brian Jones and talks to
Janis Joplin about sex. In Los Angeles, she discusses being overweight with Mama Cass
and tries to pluck up the courage to ask Cher to return those false eyelashes. Lola
has an irrepressible curiosity, but she begins to wonder whether the questions she
asks these extraordinary young musicians are really a substitute for questions about
her parents' calamitous past that can't be asked or answered. As Lola moves on through
marriage, motherhood, psychoanalysis and a close relationship with an unexpected pair
of detectives, she discovers the question of what it means to be human is the hardest
one for anyone-including herself-to answer"
