Description

In the shadow of the Catskill Mountains, a radical commune in the 1970s promises a life of natural purity and communal harmony, but its utopian ideals begin to fray. Born into this world, a young woman named Bit grapples with the harsh realities that lie beyond the commune's borders as its foundations crumble. This novel is a profound exploration of faith, disillusionment, and the enduring search for belonging, set against the backdrop of a dream that slowly unravels. Lauren Groff masterfully crafts a story that is both intimate and sweeping, delving into the complexities of human connection and the elusive nature of the American dream.
