ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Girls” by Emma Cline explores the complex dynamics of a young girl's descent into a destructive cult in 1960s California. Narrated by Evie Boyd, the story follows her growing fascination with a charismatic leader, Russell, and his group of followers, especially Suzanne, a mysterious girl who becomes Evie's idol. As Evie is drawn deeper into the group's radical beliefs, she grapples with her desires for belonging and identity. The novel explores themes of female friendship, vulnerability, manipulation, and the search for meaning, delving into the psychological impact of adolescence and the dangers of groupthink and blind loyalty.
