Florida

A novel by Lauren Groff that weaves together multiple stories and perspectives across several centuries of Florida — from European explorers to contemporary women in flight. With luminous prose and a sensuality that entwines landscape and character, Groff creates an epic and fragmented portrait of a place of paradise and calamity, attraction and destruction, exploring the colonial and environmental violence that shapes the region.
