Tilt 68

By Sarah Colton

Novel Summary: From Vietnam to the Pill, from fraternity parties to Existentialism, Tilt 68 brings the late 1960's to life through the profound changes experienced by one Southern woman who dares to look at her own life with open eyes. Grounded in the energy and icons of the 60s Tilt 68 is Louisa Ellington's story – eighteen years old and a freshman at a southern women's college when the sudden and widespread availability of The Pill thrusts unprecedented freedom on an entire generation of women – all within the context of the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the arrival of drugs on campus. Gripping as today's headlines, familiar as time's old tale, Louisa’s story celebrates and bears witness to the soul’s exuberant and irrepressible quest for freedom. Tilt 68 will speak to any reader who has ever challenged authority and wrestled with the conflicting doubts and convictions unleashed by power shifts along the elemental fault-lines of life: sex, politics, race, religion, and war.

“Being a woman”

By Ket – As reviewed on Amazon.com

Being a woman is never easy, especially if you're from a conservative southern family in the late 60s. Tilt 68 explores what happens when Suzie-Q meets flower-power, war, the civil rights movement, and The Pill. Yet the story is timeless, as all women are faced with the challenge of "do I wear the role I was given, or does another one fit better?" A fun, warm and thought-provoking novel, inciting full-spectrum emotional reactions.
