Arcadia by Jim Crace
The novel follows the intertwined stories of three individuals: Victor, a wealthy businessman who seeks to recreate his childhood paradise, an apple orchard, in a city; Anna, a young woman who is drawn to Victor's vision and becomes his personal assistant; and a young boy named Paddy, who is unknowingly the key to Victor's past. As Victor's utopian project begins to crumble, the lives of these three characters are dramatically altered. The narrative explores themes of memory, nostalgia, and the destructive pursuit of idealized pasts.
