A 1960s Cult Coming-of-Age Novel of Manson-Era California, Female Obsession, and Violence

In the summer of 1969 in Northern California, lonely fourteen-year-old Evie Boyd navigates her parents' bitter divorce and adolescent drift. At a local park, she is mesmerized by a group of carefree, uninhibited older girls and follows them to a dilapidated ranch commune.

Entangled with charismatic cult leader Russell Hadrick and hypnotic older cult member Suzanne, Evie desperately seeks acceptance within their insular group. As the commune devolves into drug use and paranoia, Evie narrowly avoids participating in the cult's notorious night of brutal violence.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Emma Cline's bestselling debut captures adolescent vulnerability and the sinister allure of 1960s counterculture cults. Essential reading for fans of Jeffrey Eugenides, Megan Abbott, and Emma Donoghue.
