All Our Loving: A Beatles Fan's Memoir

All our Loving is the astonishing account of Carolyn Lee Mitchell's obsession with The Beatles, and in particular Paul McCartney. She haunted the pop stars incessantly from 1969 to 1971, recording in her diary her feelings at their least word or gesture in her direction. It is more than a nostalgic look at the heady wild days of the Swinging Sixties: it is a record of the extraordinary experiences of one girl who wanted more than anything to have a personal relationship with unreachable, untouchable people... and the inevitable clash when the worlds of pop star and fan collided. Frightening, funny, touching and sad, this is Beatlemania as only a fan could describe it.
