The Girls is the 2016 debut novel by American author Emma Cline. It is loosely inspired by the Manson Family and the murder of actress Sharon Tate.
The majority of the novel, set in 1969, focuses on 14 year old Evie Boyd, who, feeling isolated and unloved, spends her summer on a ranch with a group of teenage girls devoted to an aspiring musician named Russell Hadrick.
