Fiction Book Group: Florida

Join our Fiction Book Group online to discuss Florida, by Lauren Groff.

Groff brings her storytelling to a world in which storms, snakes, and sinkholes lurk at the edges of everyday life, but the greater threats and mysteries are of a human, emotional, and psychological nature. Among those navigating it all are a resourceful pair of abandoned sisters; a lonely boy, grown up; a restless, childless couple; a searching, homeless woman; and an unforgettable, recurring character: a steely and conflicted wife and mother.

Groff writes about loneliness, rage, family, and the passage of time. The stories span characters, towns, decades, even centuries, but Florida—its landscape, climate, history, and state of mind—becomes its gravitational center: an energy, a mood, as much as a place of residence.

Menlo Park’s Fiction Book Group meets virtually on the second Tuesday of each month.
