In Jennifer Egan's highly acclaimed first novel, set in 1978, the
political drama and familial tensions of the 1960s form a backdrop
for the world of Phoebe O'Connor, age eighteen. Phoebe is obsessed
with the memory and death of her sister Faith, a beautiful
idealistic hippie who died in Italy in 1970. In order to find out
the truth about Faith's life and death, Phoebe retraces her steps
from San Francisco across Europe, a quest which yields both complex
and disturbing revelations about family, love, and Faith's lost
generation. This spellbinding novel introduced Egan's remarkable
ability to tie suspense with deeply insightful characters and the
nuances of emotion.
