“I read The Drifters when I was in my early twenties and I LOVED IT! You know how Michener is with descriptions. I felt like I have been to Europe through his words. And I could relate to his charactors. I should pick this book up again and see it I feel the same way. ”

“This is poignant novel written about a group of friends as they travel through Spain and settle (for the most part) in the town of Torrremolinos.

We see them as lost and disenchanted, searching for adventure and meaning in life...adventures abound and tragedy befalls them, forcing them to take another look at themselves and the life of "drifting" they have chosen.
This is a very well written book, even if it is a bit long.”
“Captures a somewhat biased version of young expats who are discovering what it's like to be a "hippie" in the 60s. Part travel romance, part story about growing up [disillusioned] and struggling to find meaning in life.”
