Zum Zeitpunkt ihres Todes hat die Presse viel über Ingrid Olssen geschrieben: Sie war eine weltberühmte Künstlerin. Sie war eine furchtbare Mutter für ihre Töchter Mattie und Nora. Und ihr Vermächtnis würde für immer weiterleben. Doch es ist unwahrscheinlich, dass die Welt jemals eine weitere Ingrid Olssen-Ausstellung sehen wird – ihr letzter Wunsch war, ihre Asche in den Canyon und ihre Bilder ins Meer zu werfen. Mattie und Nora wuchsen unter den Augen der Öffentlichkeit auf und leben völlig unterschiedliche Leben.

Kalifornien, 1969. Evie Boyd ist vierzehn und möchte unbedingt gesehen werden - aber weder die frisch geschiedenen Eltern noch ihre einzige Freundin beachten sie. Doch dann begegnet sie den Girls. Junge Frauen, die nicht von dieser Welt scheinen. Ihr lautes, freies Lachen. Das Haar lang und unfrisiert. Die ausgefransten Kleider. Unter ihnen ist auch die ältere Suzanne, der Evie verfällt. Mit ihnen zieht sie zu Russell, einem Typ wie Charles Manson, dessen Ranch tief in den Hügeln liegt. Gerüchte von Sex, wilden Partys, Einzelne, die plötzlich ausreißen. Evie gibt sich der Vision grenzenloser Liebe hin und merkt nicht, wie der Moment naht, der ihr Leben für immer zerstören könnte. Suzanne von Borsody liest Emma Clines Debüt mit sanfter, dunkler Stimme - sinnlich, verstörend, eindringlich.
