  • "It is 1970, and a down-at-the-heels California commune has decided to relocate to the last frontier-the unforgiving landscape of interior Alaska-in the ultimate expression of going back to the land. [This] novel opposes two groups of characters: Sess Harder, his wife Pamela, and other young Alaskans who are already homesteading in the wilderness and the brothers and sisters of "Drop City," who, despite their devotion to peace, free love, and the simple life, find their commune riven by tensions. As these two communities collide, their alliances shift and unexpected friendships and dangerous enmities are born as everyone struggles with the bare essentials of life: love, nourishment, and a roof over one's head. [The novel] is not a satire or a nostalgic look at the sixties, though its evocation of the period is presented with a truth and clarity. [It] look[s] at the ideals of a generation and their impact on today's radically transformed world.-Dust jacket."
  • "It is the 70's, at the height of flower power. Star has just joined Drop City, a hippie commune in sunny California devoted to peace, free love and living the simple life. But underneath the music, drugs and transcendent bliss, Star slowly realises that tensions and sexual rivalies could soon tear the community apart."@en
