Lauren Groff
Lauren Groff’s haunting coming-of-age novel Arcadia (Voice, $25.99) is set in the pristine and wild forests of western New York in the late 1960s, where several dozen idealists have set out to live off the land in an agrarian, utopian community. The first boy born into the community witnesses the full range of “Arcadia”—from its hopeful, naïve beginnings to its inevitable corruption and downfall. The effective juxtaposition of past and future and Groff’s beautiful prose make this an unforgettable read.”—Starred Booklist. Groff is the author of the bestselling novel The Monsters of Templeton.
