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"
