Arcadia by Lauren Groff
Set against the backdrop of a utopian commune in upstate New York during the 1970s, the narrative follows the life of Bit, a sensitive and observant boy who grows up amidst the idealistic yet flawed community. As he navigates the complexities of love, family, and identity, the story explores the tension between the idyllic vision of communal living and the harsh realities that threaten its existence. Through Bit's eyes, the novel delves into themes of nostalgia, resilience, and the enduring quest for belonging, painting a vivid portrait of a world striving for harmony in the face of inevitable change.
