‘A lovely book – as bright, shiny and uplifting as an Abba hit’ Daily Mail
‘[A] witty and affectionate account . . . It’s not a stretch to say that, at its core, My My! is a book about time, death and the possibility of immortality’ Sunday Times
My My! The story of ABBA told through a selection of their greatest hits.
This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of "Waterloo" (the song, not the battle) – a seminal moment in pop history that saw Swedish sensation ABBA burst on to the international music scene. How is it that half a century later, this 1970s Eurovision act is bigger than ever, reaching listeners of all ages and spinning off into musicals, museums, and holograms? Giles Smith, writer and music fan, sets out to find out why.
My My! is a celebration of ABBA through the ages. It’s one fan’s way of saying: thank you for the music.
