66 reviewsA staggering portrait of a crumbling utopia, this "timeless and vast" novel filled with "raw beauty" beautifully depicts an idyllic commune in New York State - and charts its eventual yet inevitable downfall. "The raw beauty of Ms Groff's prose is one of the best things about Arcadia. But it is by no means this book's only kind of splendour" (Janet Maslin, The New York Times).
"Even the most incidental details vibrate with life Arcadia wends a harrowing path back to a fragile, lovely place you can believe in." - Ron Charles, The Washington Post
In the fields of western New York State in the 1970s, a few dozen idealists set out to live off the land, founding a commune centred on the grounds of a decaying mansion called Arcadia House. Arcadia follows this romantic utopian dream from its hopeful start through its heyday. Arcadia's inhabitants include Handy, the charismatic leader; his wife, Astrid, a midwife; Abe, a master carpenter; Hannah, a baker and historian; and Abe and Hannah's only child, Bit. While Arcadia rises and falls, Bit, too, ages and changes. He falls in love with Helle, Handy's lovely, troubled daughter. And eventually, he must face the world beyond Arcadia.
"Richly peopled and ambitious and oh, so lovely, Lauren Groff's Arcadia is one of the most moving and satisfying novels I've read in a long time. It's not possible to write any better without showing off." - Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls
In Arcadia, Lauren Grofff displays her literary gifts to stunning effect.
