The Invisible Circus by Jennifer Egan
In 1978, a San Francisco teenager travels through Europe to uncover the truth about her charismatic older sister’s mysterious death years earlier. Following a trail from the heady idealism of the late 1960s to the dangerous fringes of radical politics, she confronts the myths of rebellion, the burden of grief, and the fractures within her family. As she traces the path to Germany and Portugal and meets the sister’s former lover, painful revelations force her to reconcile love and guilt, leading to a hard-won end to innocence.
