More about the book

In a small corner of a field in Wales, Tiffany Murray hides with her dog, Boggle, dreaming of her mum's delicious meals. The late 1970s backdrop is Rockfield, the iconic recording studio where legendary rock albums were made. Tiff lives with her mother, Joan, in a whirlwind of a childhood filled with music and creativity. Her days are spent exploring the farm, befriending local wildlife, and helping Joan prepare meals for visiting bands. Amidst this vibrant life, Tiff searches for a dog and a father, while her relationship with Joan remains the heart of their unconventional family. Tiff's story is a remarkable account of growing up in a rural paradise, where encounters with rock legends like Freddie Mercury and David Bowie are as ordinary as hopscotch. This unique upbringing, filled with Cordon Bleu cookery and the sounds of music, paints a vivid picture of a childhood defined by both adventure and the warmth of family bonds. The narrative captures the essence of an extraordinary life, where the magic of music and the simplicity of rural living intertwine seamlessly.
