Northern California, during the violent end of the 1960s. At the start of summer, a lonely and thoughtful teenager, Evie Boyd, sees a group of girls in the park, and is immediately caught by their freedom, their careless dress, their dangerous aura of abandon. Soon, Evie is in thrall to Suzanne, a mesmerizing older girl, and is drawn into the circle of a soon-to-be infamous cult and the man who is its charismatic leader. Hidden in the hills, their sprawling ranch is eerie and run down, but to Evie, it is exotic, thrilling, chargeda place where she feels desperate to be accepted. As she spends more time away from her mother and the rhythms of her daily life, and as her obsession with Suzanne intensifies, Evie does not realize she is coming closer and closer to unthinkable violence.

Review

Spellbinding . . . A seductive and arresting coming-of-age story hinged on Charles Manson, told in sentences at times so finely wrought they could almost be worn as jewelry . . . [Emma] Cline gorgeously maps the topography of one loneliness-ravaged adolescent heart. She gives us the fictional truth of a girl chasing danger beyond her comprehension, in a Summer of Longing and Loss.The New York Times Book Review

[The Girls reimagines] the American novel . . . Like Mary Gaitskills Veronica or Lorrie Moores Who Will Run the Frog Hospital?, The Girls captures a defining friendship in its full humanity with a touch of rock-memoir, tell-it-like-it-really-was attitude.Vogue

Debut novels like this are rare, indeed. . . . The most remarkable quality of this novel is Clines ability to articulate the anxieties of adolescence in language thats gorgeously poetic without mangling the authenticity of a teenagers consciousness. The adults melancholy reflection and the girls swelling impetuousness are flawlessly braided together. . . . For a story that traffics in the lurid notoriety of the Manson murders, The Girls is an extraordinary act of restraint. With the maturity of a writer twice her age, Cline has written a wise novel thats never showy: a quiet, seething confession of yearning and terror.The Washington Post

Outstanding . . . Clines novel is an astonishing work of imaginationremarkably atmospheric, preternaturally intelligent, and brutally feminist. . . . Cline painstakingly destroys the separation between art and faithful representation to create something new, wonderful, and disorienting.The Boston Globe

Finely intelligent, often superbly written, with flashingly brilliant sentences, . . . Clines first novel, The Girls, is a song of innocence and experience. . . . In another way, though, Clines novel is itself a complicated mixture of freshness and worldly sophistication. . . . At he
