'Magnificent . . . Lauren Groff is a virtuoso' Emily St John Mandel
'A blistering collection . . . lyrical and oblique' Guardian
'Not to be missed . . . deep and dark and resonant' Ann Patchett
'It's beautiful. It's giving me rich, grand nightmares' Observer


In these vigorous stories, Lauren Groff brings her electric storytelling to a world in which storms, snakes and sinkholes lurk at the edge of everyday life, but the greater threats 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 conflicted wife and mother.

Florida is an exploration of the connections behind human pleasure and pain, hope and despair, love and fury.

'Innovative and terrifyingly relevant. Any one of these stories is a bracing read; together they form a masterpiece' Stylist
'Lushly evocative . . . mesmerising . . . a writer whose turn of phrase can stop you on your tracks'
