Praise for Arcadia "The raw beauty of Ms. Groff's prose is one of the best things about Arcadia. But it is by no means this book's only kind of splendor." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "This novel will swallow you whole." - The New York Times Book Review "I was constantly torn between wanting to gulp down this book or savor its lines. Even the most incidental details vibrate with life... Arcadia wends a harrowing path back to a fragile, lovely place you can believe in."-- Ron Charles, The Washington Post "Dazzling... it's Groff's essential human empathy that gives her work its urgency."-- Vogue "One of our best young novelists... Groff's prismatic prose style lends itself to the darker currents that run beneath the Arcadian dream... both poetic and ambitious."-- Elle "An astonishing novel, both in ambition and achievement, filled with revelations that appear inevitable in retrospect, amid the cycle of life and death."-- Kirkus (starred review) Praise for The Monsters of Templeton "The sense of sadness I feel at the approaching end of The Monsters of Templeton isn't just because the story's going to be over; when you read a good one -- and this is avery good one -- those feelings are deepened by the realization that you probably won't tie into anything that much fun again for a long time. "-- Stephen King "[An] outstanding literary debut. . . . What Groff is really digging at here is the enigma of the human spirit and how redemption and resilience shape our lives. . . . Groff turns her story into a meditation on the nature of change and how evolution -- of a place, a family, a person -- even if it's difficult and unsettling, can bring joyous rewards."-- Miami Herald "Groff's multilayered saga both thrills and delights with poignant, breathtaking prose. Grade: A."-- Entertainment Weekly "It's a rare book that gives darkness a good long stare and declares, convincingly, that life contains joy. The Monsters of Templeton , a fascinating first novel by Lauren Groff, is a book with joy in its marrow. . . . Reading this exquisite book is like swimming through warm water filled with wondrous things. . . . This is a fabulous book."-- San Francisco Chronicle "Groff's lively and poetic debut novel . . . [is] sweet and slightly wry, poignant yet beautifully understated."-- Boston Globe, "With Fates and Furies Lauren Groff goes many levels below the surface of a marriage, into a place that is perhaps as hard to reach as it is to describe, but Groff, a bold and marvelous writer, is able to do both. Because she''s so vitally talented line for line and passage for passage, and because her ideas about the ways in which two people can live together and live inside each other, or fall away from each other, or betray each other, feel foundationally sound and true, Fates and Furies becomes a book to submit to, and be knocked out by, as I certainly was." - Meg Wolitzer, New York Times -bestselling author of The Interestings "In a swirling miasma of language, plot, and Greek mythology, Groff weaves a fierce and gripping tale of true love gone asunder. . . . Groff''s prose is variously dewy, defiant, salacious, and bleak--a hurricane of words thrown together on every page. Yet so much of the power in this book lies in what''s unspoken. . . . An intoxicating elixir." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The plotting is exquisite, and the sentences hum; Groff writes with a pleasurable, bantering vividness. An intricate plot, perfect title, and a harrowing look at the tie that binds." - Kirkus (starred review) "Like a classic tragedy, Groff''s novel offers high drama, hubris, and epic love, complete with Greek chorus-like asides. A singular and compelling literary read, populated with extraordinary characters; highly recommended." - Library Journal (starred review) Praise for Arcadia "The raw beauty of Ms. Groff''s prose is one of the best things about Arcadia. But it is by no means this book''s only kind of splendor." -Janet Maslin, The New York Times "This novel will swallow you whole." - The New York Times Book Review "I was constantly torn between wanting to gulp down this book or savor its lines.

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY: THE WASHINGTON POST, NPR, TIME, THE SEATTLE TIMES, MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE, SLATE, LIBRARY JOURNAL, KIRKUS, AND MANY MORE "Lauren Groff is a writer of rare gifts, and Fates and Furies is an unabashedly ambitious novel that delivers - with comedy, tragedy, well-deployed erudition and unmistakable glimmers of brilliance throughout." -- The New York Times Book Review (cover review) From the award-winning, New York Times- bestselling author of The Monsters of Templeton , Arcadia , Florida and Matrix, an exhilarating novel about marriage, creativity, art, and perception. Fates and Furies is a literary masterpiece that defies expectation. A dazzling examination of a marriage, it is also a portrait of creative partnership written by one of the best writers of her generation. Every story has two sides. Every relationship has two perspectives. And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets. At the core of this rich, expansive, layered novel, Lauren Groff presents the story of one such marriage over the course of twenty-four years. At age twenty-two, Lotto and Mathilde are tall, glamorous, madly in love, and destined for greatness. A decade later, their marriage is still the envy of their friends, but with an electric thrill we understand that things are even more complicated and remarkable than they have seemed. With stunning revelations and multiple threads, and in prose that is vibrantly alive and original, Groff delivers a deeply satisfying novel about love, art, creativity, and power that is unlike anything that has come before it. Profound, surprising, propulsive, and emotionally riveting, it stirs both the mind and the heart., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD NPR MORNING EDITION BOOK CLUB PICK NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY: THE WASHINGTON POST, NPR, TIME, THE SEATTLE TIMES, MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE, SLATE, LIBRARY JOURNAL, KIRKUS, AND MANY MORE "Lauren Groff is a writer of rare gifts, and Fates and Furies is an unabashedly ambitious novel that delivers - with comedy, tragedy, well-deployed erudition and unmistakable glimmers of brilliance throughout." -- The New York Times Book Review (cover review) "Elaborate, sensual...a writer whose books are too exotic and unusual to be missed."-- The New York Times " Fates and Furies is a clear-the-ground triumph." --Ron Charles, The Washington Post From the award-winning, New York Times- bestselling author of The Monsters of Templeton , Arcadia , and Florida, an exhilarating novel about marriage, creativity, art, and perception.
