For followers of Pam Houston's Cowboys Are My Weakness - a novel in stories in regards to a young girl and her town in the early 1970s. It's the summer months of 1972, and Katie has just switched 18. Katie and her town, Elephant Beach, are both on the verge: Katie of adulthood, Elephant Beach of gentrification - however, not yet. Elephant Beach continues to be gritty, working-class, close-knit. And Katie spends her time smoking and drinking alcohol with her friends, fantasizing about a young man just back again from Vietnam who's still fighting with each other a challenge Katie can't understand. Impeccably made and greatly affectionate, this novel in experiences is a stunning portrait of a place whose conflicts - between mothers and daughters, women and men, haves and have-nots - reverberate to your own time.
