  <default_description>In his triumphant best seller, James Michener unfolds a powerful and poignant drama of six young runaways adrift in a world they have created out of dreams, drugs, and dedication to pleasure. With the sure touch of a master, Michener pulls us into the dark center of their private world, whether it's in Spain, Marrakech, or Mozambique, and exposes the naked nerve ends with shocking candor and infinite compassion.&lt;br&gt;&quot;A superior, picaresque novel...and a revealing mirror held up to contemporary society.&quot;&lt;br&gt;JOHN BARKHAM REVIEWS</default_description>

It tells the story of some young adults during the late 60's early 70s and their stranges paths that led them each to Torremolinos Spain.
