The Invisible Circus – Jennifer Egan

Phoebe O’Connor is an 18 year old girl stalled in her own life because of an obsession with the memory of her “larger than life” older sister Faith , a hippie who died in Italy in 1970. Set in 1978, which was fun because I was about the same age as Phoebe then, and some of her experiences were familiar. I liked the book, although not as much as A Visit to the Goon Squad, which I thought was brilliant.
