Arcadia

New York Times Bestseller

"Timeless and vast... The raw beauty of Ms. Groffâ€™s prose is one of the best things about Arcadia. But it is by no means this bookâ€™s only kind of splendor." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times

"Even the most incidental details vibrate with life Ã¯Â¿Â½ 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 centered on the grounds of a decaying mansion called Arcadia House. Arcadia follows this romantic utopian dream from its hopeful start through its heyday. Arcadiaâ€™s inhabitants include Handy, the charismatic leader; his wife, Astrid, a midwife; Abe, a master carpenter; Hannah, a baker and historian; and Abe and Hannahâ€™s only child, Bit. While Arcadia rises and falls, Bit, too, ages and changes. He falls in love with Helle, Handyâ€™s lovely, troubled daughter. And eventually he must face the world beyond Arcadia.

In Arcadia, Groff displays her literary gifts to stunning effect.
