Publisher Description
Property Of is the book that launched a major literary career. In it, New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman introduces a lonely outsider who wants desperately to belong. She deeply envies the tough, sultry girls who wear mascara and black leather and hang with the local gang known as the Orphans. As the unnamed narrator determinedly tries to become the property of the gang's brooding leader, McKay, she will discover what can and cannot be possessed—and what can happen when you hand your heart over to a man who claims to care nothing about love.

“An unmistakably gifted work, lavishing heart and craft onintractably unsympathetic materials. Hoffman finds poetry—terse, tough poetry—inher unnamed narrator’s doomed infatuation with McKay, president of the Orphans…Nosociological cop-outs, then, just acute observation.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
