Publisher's Summary:

The Girls by Emma Cline is a novel loosely based on the events leading up to the Manson Family murders in the summer of 1969. Lured by sexual desire and the prospect of female friendship, Evie Boyd, an unhappy 14-year-old, spends a large chunk of her summer colluding with a cult. Some 40 years in the future, an unexpected encounter causes Evie to reflect on that experience at length.

As the story begins, middle-aged Evie is between jobs and temporarily living at a friend's beach house. One night, in bed, she hears voices and understands there's been a break-in. She's convinced she's about to be murdered. When death doesn't come, she works up her nerve and gets out of bed to investigate. The "intruders" are just her friend's college-age son Julian and his girlfriend Sasha, who's younger, maybe 16 years old. They're stopping through on their way to another town.

The choices people make

Loosely based on the events leading to the Manson Family killings in 1969, The Girls, by Emma Cline, is a novel of the reflections of Evie Boyd, a woman in her fifties, as she recalls her brief flirtation with a cult when she was in her teens. Suffering from low self-esteem and lack of a sense of belonging, she is first drawn to the charismatic cult leader (loosely based on Charles Manson), but is really drawn to one of the women in his group. When events lead up to a planned visit to one of the cult leaderâs enemies, Evie goes along, but just before arriving at the victimâs house, the woman she is drawn to kicks her out of the car. She goes home, and the next day learns that several people in the house to which they were going were brutally murdered. In her middle age, she still wonders what she would have done had she not been ejected from the group.
