Thanks for putting this in the bookbox, I've been eyeing it at the bookstore. :)

The high ideals and inevitable compromises of the 1960s form the background to this acclaimed novel by Jennifer Egan.Phoebe O'Connor, eighteen years old in the summer of 1978, is too young to know the 1960s, but old enough to feel the anxiety of their influence.She is obsessed by the memory of her charismatic older sister, Faith, a flower child who died in Italy in 1970.Searching for the truth about Faith's death and life, Phoebe retraces her steps across Europe to the very place where she died.Her search yields more complex and disturbing revelations than she had wished for-about her sister and the generation she emblematized.

The protoganist Phoebe O'Conner has grown up in the shadow of her father and older sister. Frozen in time, she and her mother can't seem to move past the deaths. Phoebe decides to travel to Italy to discover the truth behind her sister's death, was it an accident or was it suicide?

I found this book very hard to get involved with, and it wasn't what I expected from the reviews I'd read. I am planning on renting the movie to see if it gives me a different perspective.

Mailing to lizabeth86 from the IYTVBB.
