The â€œwonderfully talentedâ€ (Dwight Garner, New York Times) author of Mislaid returns with a â€œheady, wittyâ€ (Booklist) novel of obsession, idealism, and ownership, centered around a young woman who inherits her bohemian father's childhood home. Recent business school graduate Penny Baker has rebelled against her family her whole lifeâ€”by being the conventional one. Her mother, Amalia, was a member of an Amazonian tribe called the Kogi; her much older father, Norm, long ago attained cult-like deity status among a certain group of aging hippies while operating a â€˜healing centerâ€™ in New Jersey. And sheâ€™s never felt particularly close to her much-older half-brothers from Normâ€™s previous marriage-one wickedly charming and obscenely rich (but mostly just wicked), one a photographer on a distant tropical island. But all that changes when her father dies, and Penny inherits his childhood home in New Jersey. She goes to investigate the property and finds it occupied by a group of friendly and charming anarchist squatters who have renamed the property Nicotine House. The residents of Nicotine House (defenders of smokersâ€™ rights) possess the type of passion and fervor Penny feels sheâ€™s desperately lacking, and the other squatter houses in the neighborhood provide a sense of community sheâ€™s never felt before. Penny soon moves into a nearby residence, becoming enmeshed in the political fervor and commitment of her fellow squatters. As the Baker familyâ€™s lives begin to converge around the fate of the Nicotine House, Penny grows ever bolder and more desperate to protect it-and its residents-until a fateful night when a reckless confrontation between her old family and her new one changes everything.
