Synopsis
In this triumphant bestseller, renowned novelist James A. Michener unfolds a powerful and poignant drama of disenchanted youth during the Vietnam era. Against exotic backdrops including Spain, Morocco, and Mozambique, he weaves together the heady dreams, shocking tribulations, and heartwarming bonds of six young runaways cast adrift in the world--as well as the hedonistic pursuit of drugs and pleasure that collapses all around them. With the sure touch of a master, Michener pulls us into the private world of these unforgettable characters, exposing their innermost desires with remarkable candor and infinite compassion.   Praise for The Drifters   "A blockbuster of a book . . . full of surprise, drama, and fascination." --Philadelphia Bulletin   "Rings with authentic detail and clearly descriptive sights and smells . . .

    Close look at the revolutionary change in our culture among the 70s young generation.

    Haven't read Michener in a lot of years. I never saw this one among all his others, and thought I'd give it a try. Turns out it's all about the youth of the 70s...how they thought...why...and what they did. I was one of them. Much fun for me to revisit all of that now, through this book.
