The Girls
Summary
The instant best seller An indelible portrait of girls, the women they become, and that moment in life when everything can go horribly wrong Named one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post • NPR • The Guardian • Entertainment Weekly • San Francisco Chronicle • Financial Times • Esquire • Newsweek • Vogue • Glamour • People • The Huffington Post • Elle • Harper’s Bazaar • Time Out • BookPage • Publishers Weekly • Slate 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, charged - a 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.

The Girls [French Version]
Summary
Nord de la Californie, fin des années 1960. Evie Boyd, quatorze ans, vit seule avec sa mère. Fille unique et mal dans sa peau, elle n'a que Connie, son amie d'enfance. Lorsqu'une dispute les sépare au début de l'été, Evie se tourne vers un groupe de filles dont la liberté, les tenues débraillées et l'atmosphère d'abandon qui les entoure la fascinent. Elle tombe sous la coupe de Suzanne, l'aînée de cette bande, et se laisse entraîner dans le cercle d'une secte et de son leader charismatique, Russell. Caché dans les collines, leur ranch est aussi étrange que délabré, mais, aux yeux de l'adolescente, il est exotique, électrique, et elle veut à tout prix s'y faire accepter. Tandis qu'elle passe de moins en moins de temps chez sa mère et que son obsession pour Suzanne va grandissant, Evie ne s'aperçoit pas qu'elle s'approche inéluctablement d'une violence impensable. Dense et rythmé, le premier roman d'Emma Cline est saisissant de perspicacité psychologique. Raconté par une Evie adulte mais toujours cabossée, il est un portrait remarquable des filles comme des femmes qu'elles deviennent. Une adolescence au féminin saisie sur le vif, entre exaltation des sens, dangers de la dépendance et quête de modèles, écrite dans un style vibrant servi par la lecture chatoyante de Rachel Arditi.

Pigerne
Summary
"Det var latteren, der fik mig til at kigge op, og pigerne, der fik mig til at blive ved med at kigge." Sådan begynder Evie Boyds beretning om sommeren 1969 i Californien. Det er i parken, at Evie får øje på pigerne, en gruppe unge kvinder, der udståler fandenivoldskhed, frihed og en farlig aura af vildskab. Da hun nogle dage senere møder en af dem, Suzanne, tager hun med ud på den ranch, hvor den karismatiske Russell bor med sin "storfamilie", unge kvinder, der vil gøre alt for ham. Evie drages ind i Russells tryllekreds, og først da det er for sent, indser hun, at det vil få katastrofale konsekvenser. "Pigerne" bygger løseligt på historien om Charles Manson og de mord, han fik sine kvindelige følgere til at begå i slutningen af 1960'erne.

Daddy
Summary
From the The New York Times best-selling author of The Girls comes an eagerly anticipated story collection exploring the dark corners of human experience. “Daddy’s ten masterful, provocative stories confirm that Cline is a staggering talent.” (Esquire) “Brilliant.... Cline is an astonishingly gifted stylist.... These stories vibrate with life.” (The New York Times Book Review) Named One of the 10 Best Books of the Year by Entertainment Weekly An absentee father collects his son from boarding school after a shocking act of violence. A nanny to a celebrity family hides out in Laurel Canyon in the aftermath of a tabloid scandal. A young woman sells her underwear to strangers. A notorious guest arrives at a placid, not-quite rehab in the Southwest. In 10 remarkable stories, Emma Cline portrays moments when the ordinary is disturbed, when daily life buckles, revealing the perversity and violence pulsing under the surface. She explores characters navigating the edge, the limits of themselves and those around them: power dynamics in families, in relationships, the distance between their true and false selves. They want connection, but what they provoke is often closer to self-sabotage. What are the costs of one's choices? Of the moments when we act, or fail to act? These complexities are at the heart of Daddy, Emma Cline's sharp-eyed illumination of the contrary impulses that animate our inner lives.
