More About This Book

Overview

“A work of stunning lyricism and intense originality”(Mary Gordon, author of Pearl). From an award-winning short story writer comes this spare, lively, moving novel, quickly embraced by critics and readers, portraying the strangely celebrated and unsupervised childhood of four hippie offspring in the 1970s and 80s. Based on the author's own upbringing, Flower Children tells the story of four children growing up in rural Pennsylvania, impossibly at odds with their surroundings. In time, as the sheltered utopia their parents have created begins to collapse, the children long for structure and restraint—and all their parents have avoided.

Editorial Reviews

Bookforum
Swann expertly handles the complex emotions of both boys and girls as they progress in age to adolescence and adulthood . . . Swann is a restrained, elegant writer, who lets her sentences build slowly, as if she were assembling a structure brick by brick. I nearly emptied my pen of ink underlining passages.

From The Critics
I thought about this book when I wasn't reading it, and I looked forward to returning to it and delving further. I was left wanting to know more about this family of unique characters. Like a missing friend who lives far away, but visits regularly. Not loss, anticipation.

    not all that I'd hoped for...

    The idea of Flower Children really intrigued me. Here are four children raised by hippie parents. They have a swing hanging from their living room ceiling and they are brought up on anti-nuclear protests. While the story was interesting it's not one that's particularly memorable. A week from now I'd probably be hard pressed to describe what happened in the book. Maybe that's partly due to the fact that nothing really does happen in the book. Flower Children is just a chain of accounts from their lives that bring the children from a very young age up to puberty. It was a quick read and entertaining but not all that that I'd hoped for.
