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 conflicted wife and mother. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stories in this collection span characters, towns, even centuries, but Florida - its landscape, climate, history and state of mind - becomes the gravitational centre. With shocking accuracy, Groff pinpoints the connections behind human pleasure and pain, hope and despair, love and fury - the moments that make us alive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Restorative fiction for these urgent times.'\u003ci\u003e New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e'A blistering collection ... lyrical and oblique.' \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Groff, Lauren","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46473420341587,"sku":"9781786090461","price":11.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/groff-lauren-lauren-groff-florida-2019-paperback-9781786090461-1145648436.jpg?v=1741472128","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/florida","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
