5/19/2023 0 Comments Arcadia lauren groff book reviewAnd her writing is beautiful from an aesthetic point of view. Groff is, no doubt, an accomplished writer. Reading the extent of the praise for this book, especially from well-respected sources, gives one pause before offering criticism-especially when one studies communal societies rather than fiction. On the back cover, Russo is also quoted that "it's not possible to write any better without showing off." A New York Times bestseller, Groff's Arcadia was also recognized as one of the best books of 2012 by a variety of sources, including the New York Times (100 notable books of 2012), the Washington Post (the 10 best books of 2012), National Public Radio (the year's best book club reads for 2012), Vogue (top 10: the best books of 2012), The Globe & Mail (top 29 picks for international fiction of 2012), the Christian Science Monitor (10 best books of 2012-fiction) and Kirkus Reviews (best fiction of 2012-the top 25). "Richly peopled and ambitious and oh, so lovely, Lauren Groff's Arcadia is one of the most moving and satisfying novels I've read in a long time," writes acclaimed novelist Richard Russo in the praise for Arcadia printed in the front of the book.
