Epic and gripping, 'Drop City' is a magnificent novel from one of America's finest writers.
It's the seventies, at the height of flower power. Star has joined Drop City, a hippie commune in sunny California devoted to peace, free love and living the simple, natural life. But underneath the transcendent bliss, she discovers tensions and sexual rivalries that threaten to split the community.
A world away in Boynton, Alaska, Sess Harder, a pioneer who actually does live off the land, yearns for someone to share the harsh winters with him. He falls for Pamela, a young woman who has come to Boynton to seek a husband.
When the authorities threaten to close down Drop City, the hippies abandon camp and head up north to Alaska, the last frontier. But neither they, nor the inhabitants of Boynton, are completely prepared for each other - and as the two communities collide, unexpected friendships and dangerous enmities are born.
