![]() Groff transports the reader, then jolts us alert with a crackle of wit, a wave of sadness, a flash of cruelty, as she writes about loneliness, rage, family, and the passage of time. ![]() The stories in this collection span characters, towns, decades, even centuries, but Florida-its landscape, climate, history, and state of mind-becomes its gravitational center: an energy, a mood, as much as a place of residence. Among those navigating it all are a resourceful pair of abandoned sisters a lonely boy, grown up a restless, childless couple a searching, homeless woman and an unforgettable, recurring character – a steely and conflicted wife and mother. ![]() In her vigorous and moving new book, Lauren Groff brings her electric storytelling and intelligence to a world in which storms, snakes, and sinkholes lurk at the edges of everyday life, but the greater threats and mysteries are of a human, emotional, and psychological nature. ![]()
