En el norte de California, durante el violento final de la decada de 1960, esta historia se centra en una adolecente sola llamada Evie Boyd que se une a un grupo de ninas que se ven en el parque. Le atrae una chica magnetica llamada a Suzanne. Evie es invitada a entrar en este circulo liderado por un carismatico hombre infame quien vive en un extenso rancho escondido entre las colinas. Su admiracion por Suzanne crece y Evie se desespera por entrar en el circulo y ser aceptada. A medida que pasa el tiempo, alejada de su madre, en los ritmos de esta nueva vida diaria, se da cuenta de que se esta acercando cada vez mas a la violencia mas impensable y a ese momento en la vida de una chica en que todo puede ir horriblemente mal. / 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, and to that moment in a girls life when everything can go horribly wrong.

Review:
An Amazon Best Book of June 2016: I was put off by the idea of this book--the twentysomething author is writing about the 60s, an era that may even predate her parents; it features a very Manson-like cult (really, is there anything more to say?) and, well, it comes with a lot of pre-publication “buzz.” So hear this: The Girls really is as good as they’re saying. First of all: it’s called The Girls for a reason; While this mesmerizing debut does involve a charismatic Mansonesque leader in California in the late 1960s, it is more focused on the girls in his cult, the ones who enthrall 14 year old Evie Boyd, a self-conscious child of divorce, privilege and malaise. The tale of the girls and the cult and the ultimate violence they commit is told by Evie, now a middle aged woman with regrets. Some of the parallels Cline tries to draw between the teenaged Evie’s rage and that of some current young people in her life can be strained but Cline’s observations are preternaturally mature and her writing strong. (A character the girls are attempting to rob lies “on her kitchen floor, calling my name like a right answer.”) The subject matter may be familiar--and I don’t just mean Manson, I mean the way teenagers can be terrified and terrifying all at once--Cline’s The Girls is surprisingly timeless and perfectly creepy. --Sara Nelson, The Amazon Book Review

Book Description Rústica. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 1. California. Verano de 1969. Evie, una adolescente insegura y solitaria a punto de adentrarse en el incierto mundo de los adultos, se fija en un grupo de chicas en un parque: visten de un modo descuidado, van descalzas y parecen vivir felices y despreocupadas, al margen de las normas. Días después, un encuentro fortuito propiciará que una de esas chicas ?Suzanne, unos años mayor que ella? la invite a acompañarlas. Viven en un rancho solitario y forman parte de una comuna que gira alrededor de Russell, músico frustrado, carismático, manipulador, líder, gurú. Fascinada y perpleja, Evie se sumerge en una espiral de drogas psicodélicas y amor libre, de manipulación mental y sexual, que le hará perder el contacto con su familia y con el mundo exterior. Y la deriva de esa comuna que deviene secta dominada por una creciente paranoia desembocará en un acto de violencia bestial, extremo? Esta novela es obra de una debutante que, dada su juventud, ha dejado boquiabierta a la crítica por la inusitada madurez con la que cincela la compleja psicología de sus personajes. Emma Cline construye un retrato excepcional de la fragilidad adolescente y del tormentoso proceso de hacerse adulto. También aborda el tema de la culpa y las decisiones que nos marcarán toda la vida. Y recrea aquellos años de paz y amor, de idealismo hippie, en los que germinaba un lado oscuro, muy oscuro. La autora se inspira libremente en un episodio célebre de la crónica negra americana: la matanza perpetrada por Charles Manson y su clan. Pero lo que le interesa no es la figura del psicópata demoniaco, sino algo mucho más perturbador: aquellas chicas angelicales que cometieron un crimen atroz y sin embargo durante el juicio no perdían la sonrisa? Sobre ellas ?¿qué les llevó a traspasar los límites?, ¿cuáles fueron las consecuencias de unos actos que las perseguirán siempre?? versa esta novela que deslumbra e inquieta. Libros.
