Inside the heyday of the 1970s underground, Bobby DeSoto and Mary Whittaker - ardent, idealistic, and in love - design a series of radical protests contrary to the Vietnam Conflict. When one action goes wrong, the span of their lives is forever changed. The two must remove their former, forge new identities, and never see each other again. Now it is the 1990s. Mary lives in the suburbs with her 15-year-old son, who spends hours immersed in the music of his mother's generation. She has no idea where Bobby is, whether he is alive or dead. Shifting between your protests in the 1970s and the consequences of those choices in the 1990s, Dana Spiotta deftly explores the bond between your two eras - their terms, technology, music, and activism. Character-driven and brilliant, this is an important and revelatory novel about the culture of rebellion, with particular resonance now.
