Groff is a sensuous writer GUARDIAN

In the fields of western New York State in the 170s, on the grounds of a decaying mansion called Arcadia House, a few dozen idealists set out to live off the land. Abe and Hannahs only child, Bit, is born into the commune soon after its creation. He grows up there, becoming deeply attached to its way of life and everyone within it, in particular the beautiful but troubled Helle. While the commune rises and falls, Bit, too, ages and changes. But when its time to find a way to live in the world beyond Arcadia, will he be able to let go of the past to forge a new start?
