Lisa Carey’s debut novel, “In the Country of the Young,” is a poignant exploration of the complexities of family dynamics and the enduring bonds of sisterhood. Set against the backdrop of 1960s America, this coming-of-age tale follows the lives of two sisters, Rae and Leigh, as they navigate the turbulent waters of adolescence and the societal upheavals of the era. Carey’s prose is both lyrical and unflinching, capturing the raw emotions and profound insights that accompany the transition from childhood to adulthood. Through her vivid characterizations and evocative descriptions, she invites readers to immerse themselves in a world where innocence collides with harsh realities, and where the bonds of family are tested but ultimately prevail. This first edition paperback, though bearing the gentle marks of previous ownership, offers collectors and readers a chance to experience Carey’s acclaimed debut in its original form, a literary time capsule that resonates with timeless themes of love, loss, and the enduring power of sisterhood.
