Synopsis
En el norte de California, durante el violento final de la década de 1960, esta historia se centra en una adolecente sola llamada Evie Boyd que se une a un grupo de niñas que se ven en el parque. Le atrae una chica magnética llamada Suzanne. Evie es invitada a entrar en este círculo liderado por un carismático hombre infame quien vive en un extenso rancho escondido entre las colinas. Su admiración por Suzanne crece y Evie se desespera por entrar en el círculo 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 está acercando cada vez más a la violencia más 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.
Karen Armstrong was awarded the TED Prize and is currently working with TED. Her books have been translated into over forty five languages. Armstrong does an excellent job of highlighting the pivotal role Paul played in the development of the movement that would later become the Christian church, while also showing how his writings have been both ignored and co-opted by Christians.
