1968. It's the season of siren songs and loosened bonds—as well as war, campaign slogans, and assassination. When the Rayson family leaves the East Coast for the gathering anarchy of Berkeley, twelve-year-old Alice embraces the moment in a hippie paradise that's fast becoming a cultural ground zero. As her family and school fade away in a tear gas fog, the 1960s counterculture brings ambiguous freedom. Guided only by a child's-eye view in a tumultuous era, Alice could become another casualty—or she could come through to her new family, her developing life. But first, she must find her way in a world where the street signs hang backward and there's a bootleg candy called Orange Sunshine. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I enjoy coming of age books mostly and the 60s era also. I usually don't mind big books over 400 pages. However, I couldn't commit my time and energy to this book.
Alice was a good character and I liked where it was going with her but not so much with her parents and politics played a good part which is usual in 1968 especially in Berkley, CA, where they moved to because of her father's job in government.
This book was very verbose and too many words when fewer could be said. JMO.
A dnf for me, sorry. ( )
