Review this book!

Chronicling a group of disaffected modern youth who travel through Spain and Morocco, this novel represents a departure for Michener, who wrote it at the same time he produced his journalistic piece "Kent State".

Publisher Notes

In his triumphant best seller, James Michener unfolds a powerful and poignant drama of six young runaways adrift in a world they have created out of dreams, drugs, and dedication to pleasure. With the sure touch of a master, Michener pulls us into the dark center of their private world, whether it's in Spain, Marrakech, or Mozambique, and exposes the naked nerve ends with shocking candor and infinite compassion."A superior, picaresque novel...and a revealing mirror held up to contemporary society."JOHN BARKHAM REVIEWS

Media Reviews

"[A]n interesting trip and Michener is an entertaining as well as knowledgeable guide. The novel has a more serious purpose, however, which is exhaustively to examine the 'youth revolution.' Michener brings to this task narrative skill and a nicely adequate socio-psychological sophistication."

First Line

Youth is truth.
