Sinopsis
From the bestselling author of Fates and Furies comes a gripping, romantic, and tragic tale of trying to achieve utopia.
"Beautifully crafted." —Booklist
In the fields of western New York State in the 1970s, a few dozen idealists set out to live off the land, founding what would become a commune centered on the grounds of a decaying mansion called Arcadia House.
Arcadias inhabitants include Handy, a musician and the groups charismatic leader; Astrid, a midwife; Abe, a master carpenter; Hannah, a baker and historian; and Abe and Hannahs only child, the books protagonist, Bit, who is born soon after the commune is created.
While Arcadia rises and falls, Bit, too, ages and changes. If he remains in love with the peaceful agrarian life in Arcadia and deeply attached to its residents—including Handy and Astrids lithe and deeply troubled daughter, Helle—how can Bit become his own man? How will he make his way through life and the world outside of Arcadia where he must eventually live?
With Arcadia, Lauren Groff establishes herself not only as one of the most gifted fiction writers at work today but also as one of our most accomplished literary artists.
