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. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND NPR 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.

From the bestselling author of The Girls comes a "brilliant" (The New York Times) story collection exploring the dark corners of human experience. "Daddy's ten masterful, provocative stories confirm that Cline is a staggering talent."--Esquire NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY An absentee father collects his son from boarding school after a shocking act of violence. A nanny to a celebrity family hides out in Laurel Canyon in the aftermath of a tabloid scandal. A young woman sells her underwear to strangers. A notorious guest arrives at a placid, not-quite rehab in the Southwest. In ten remarkable stories, Emma Cline portrays moments when the ordinary is disturbed, when daily life buckles, revealing the perversity and violence pulsing under the surface. She explores characters navigating the edge, the limits of themselves and those around them: power dynamics in families, in relationships, the distance between their true and false selves. They want connection, but what they provoke is often closer to self-sabotage. What are the costs of one's choices? Of the moments when we act, or fail to act? These complexities are at the heart of Daddy, Emma Cline's sharp-eyed illumination of the contrary impulses that animate our inner lives.

Jentene er en roman som forsøker å forstå hendelser som fremstod som meningsløse og sensasjonelle tragedier i sin tid. I ettertidens harde lys kan vi se tydeligere og kanskje forstå bedre, ikke bare menneskene dette handler om, men også noe i oss selv.Det er sommeren 1969 og fjorten år gamle Evie kjeder seg og er lei seg fordi foreldrene skal skilles. Hun henger rundt i de glohete gatene i Marine County mens solen steker og ingenting skjer. Hjemme er det fiendtlig taushet, ute finner hun ingen venner. Synet av tre overlegne eldre jenter som blåser i alle regler og oppfører seg utfordrende er pirrende og får henne til å lengte enda mer vekk fra sitt eget liv.Og da Suzanne, en av jentene, viser henne oppmerksomhet blir Evie fullstendig betatt og oppslukt så naivt at hun gjør hva som helst for sin nye venninne. Før hun vet ordet av det er hun en del av en kult, en kult styrt av en galning. En kult som snart skal bli beryktet for ubegripelig vold.Emma Cline skriver stilsikkert og godt om en formbar jentes vei inn i motkulturen ved slutten av en æra. Med klinisk presisjon skriver hun om hvor kraftløs man blir ved å søke sin egen styrke hos andre, hvor skremmende lett man kan forme et åpent og ufullstendig sinn, og hvor langt en kan gå for å bli sett som et selv, å finne en identitet.
