Summary:
The Great Far Away commences in the 1970 s, as a group of young
people, seeking to go beyond the restrictions and conformism of their
parent s generation, coalesce in a small town in Northern California
and form a community, determined to help one another live out utopian
dreams. Frank s narrator, looking back from the present day,
describes the evolution of their lives as they age, the changes that
occur among the individuals and in the town itself: changes none of
them could have predicted when they first arrived, brought about by
inevitable (and inevitably human) practicalities and conflicts as the
years passed, children were born, and open-ended life styles that
affected relationships and marriages.
