Phoebe is obsessed with the memory and death of her sister Faith, a beautiful idealistic hippie who died in Italy in 1970. In order to find out the truth about Faiths life and death, Phoebe retraces her steps from San Francisco across Europe, a quest which yields both complex and disturbing revelations about family, love, and Faiths lost generation. This spellbinding novel introduced Egans remarkable ability to tie suspense with deeply insightful characters and the nuances of emotion. In the summer of 1978, 18-year-old Phoebe is too young to know the 1960s but old enough to feel its influence. Living in San Francisco, Phoebe is obsessed by the memory of her older sister, Faith, a flower child who died in Italy in 1970. Searching for the truth about death and life, Phoebe follows Faith's trail, and discovers it is larger and darker than one death.
