"This is a must-read book for those for whom welfare and social policy are, or should be, synonymous." Social Policy & Administration "Daly provides a philosophical and sociological overview that makes this little book the new touchstone for the study of social policy everywhere." Labour / Le Travail "Mary Daly's lucidly written book analyses the core ideological and philosophical debates about welfare and also explores 'welfare in practice' - how welfare policies are actually delivered through the different mediums of the state, the market and the family. This is a truly excellent introduction to a complex and contested concept, and student will benefit enormously from reading it." Nick Ellison, University of Leeds "The welfare state is everywhere under attack. Academics respond with new accounts of how welfare is to be understood in a world of migration, recession, escalating inequality, make-work-pay and volatile families. This book provides an energetic review of an exciting and uncertain world." Peter Taylor-Gooby, University of Kent, "Mesmerizing. . . . Told with great assurance and power. . . . Egan portrays the sisters with a quiet, heartbreaking clarity." -- The New York Times Book Review "Wonderful. . . . Words glide through her fingers and enter the pores like cool San Francisco fog." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "Brilliant in its authenticity and overwhelming passion." -- The Boston Globe "A trip that takes the reader through stunning emotional terrain." -- The New Yorker, "If there were justice in this world, no one would be allowed to write a first novel of such beauty and accomplishment."--Pat Conroy "Wonderful...words glide through her fingers and enter the pores like cool San Francisco fog."--Kim Bendheim," Los Angeles Times Book Review" "Mesmerizing...told with great assurance and power...Ms. Egan portrays the sisters with a quiet, heartbreaking clarity."--Alice Truax, "The New York Times Book Review" "Brilliant in its authenticity and overwhelming passion."--Mary-Ann Tirone Smith, "Boston Globe Books", "Mesmerizing. . . .

Synopsis
The highly acclaimed debut novel from the bestselling, award-winning author of A Visit from the Good Squad follows two sisters in the 1970s--one lost, one seeking--on "a trip that takes the reader through stunning emotional terrain" ( The New Yorker ). The political drama and familial tensions of the 1960s form a backdrop for the world of Phoebe O'Connor, age eighteen, in 1978. Phoebe is obsessed with the memory and death of her sister Faith, a beautiful idealistic hippie who died in Italy in 1970. In order to find out the truth about Faith's life and death, Phoebe retraces her steps from San Francisco across Europe, a quest which yields both complex and disturbing revelations about family, love, and Faith's lost generation. This spellbinding novel introduced Egan's remarkable ability to tie suspense with deeply insightful characters and the nuances of emotion., The highly acclaimed debut novel f rom the bestselling, award-winning author of A Visit from the Good Squad follows two sisters in the 1970s --one lost, one seeking--on "a trip that takes the reader through stunning emotional terrain" ( The New Yorker ).

This spellbinding novel introduced Egan's remarkable ability to tie suspense with deeply insightful characters and the nuances of emotion., In Jennifer Egan's highly acclaimed first novel, set in 1978, the political drama and familial tensions of the 1960s form a backdrop for the world of Phoebe O'Connor, age eighteen. Phoebe is obsessed with the memory and death of her sister Faith, a beautiful idealistic hippie who died in Italy in 1970. In order to find out the truth about Faith's life and death, Phoebe retraces her steps from San Francisco across Europe, a quest which yields both complex and disturbing revelations about family, love, and Faith's lost generation. This spellbinding novel introduced Egan's remarkable ability to tie suspense with deeply insightful characters and the nuances of emotion., The hope and heartbreak of the Sixties still linger in America's consciousness. In this breathtaking debut, Jennifer Egan brings to life the seductive pull of that era as it exerts itself on two sisters, separated by a decade, who take enormous risks to personify its ideals. It is 1978. Phoebe O'Connor, 18, runs off to Europe seeking answers about the tragedy that has haunted her family for eight years: the sudden dead of her older sister Faith while in Italy. To Phoebe, Faith epitomizes the youthful, chaotic freedom of the Sixties, and imitating her becomes Phoebe's way of trying to elevate herself from a life that seems drab and unsatisfying compared to the vivid spectacle that was Faith's. Once in Europe, Phoebe follows the itinerary Faith spelled out in postcards from her fatal trip, landing in London, living in a hostel in Amsterdam, taking a tab of LSD in Paris. But instead of the millennial excitement that Faith had sensed in 1960s Europe, Phoebe encounters disappointment and ennui. And when Faith's old lover joins Phoebe to retrace those last days in Italy, Phoebe glimpses the human price that her sister paid in following her uncompromising quest for personal liberation. With its coolly graceful prose and mastery of narrative, "The Invisible Circus" is an unforgettable first novel by a writer of uncommon ability.
