“From the bestselling
author of The Monsters of Templeton comes a lyrical and gripping story of a great
American dream. 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. Arcadia
follows this romantic, rollicking, and tragic utopian dream from its hopeful
start through its heyday and after. Arcadia’s inhabitants include Handy, a
musician and the group’s charismatic leader; Astrid, a midwife; Abe, a master
carpenter; Hannah, a baker and historian; and Abe and Hannah’s only child, the
book’s 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 Astrid’s 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, her first novel since her lauded debut, The Monsters of Templeton,
Lauren Groff establishes herself not only as one of the most gifted young
fiction writers at work today but also as one of our most accomplished literary
artists.”
