NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An indelible portrait of girls, the women
they become, and that moment in life when everything can go
horribly wrong this stunning first novel is perfect for readers of
Jeffrey Eugenides sThe Virgin Suicides and Jennifer Egan s A Visit
from the Goon Squad. 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, charged a 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. Emma Cline s remarkable
debut novel is gorgeously written and spellbinding, with
razor-sharp precision and startling psychological insight. The
Girls is a brilliant work of fiction. Praise for The Girls
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 Girlsreimagines] the American novel . .
. Like Mary Gaitskill sVeronicaor Lorrie Moore sWho Will Run the
Frog Hospital?, The Girlscaptures 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 Cline s ability to
articulate the anxieties of adolescence in language that s
gorgeously poetic without mangling the authenticity of a teenager s
consciousness. The adult s melancholy reflection and the girl s
swelling impetuousness are flawlessly braided together. . . . For a
story that traffics in the lurid notoriety of the Manson murders,
The Girlsis an extraordinary act of restraint. With the maturity of
a writer twice her age, Cline has written a wise novel that s never
showy: a quiet, seething confession of yearning and terror. The
Washington Post Emma Cline has an unparalleled eye for the
intricacies of girlhood, turning the stuff of myth into something
altogether more intimate. She reminds us that behind so many of our
culture s fables exists a girl: unseen, unheard, angry. This book
will break your heart and blow your mind. Lena Dunham Emma Cline s
first novel positively hums with fresh, startling, luminous prose.
The Girls announces the arrival of a thrilling new voice in
American fiction. Jennifer Egan I don t know which is more amazing,
Emma Cline sunderstanding of human beings or her mastery of
language. Mark Haddon, New York Times bestselling author of The
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time",
