Lauren Groffs novellesamling, Florida, beskriver skyggesiden af solskinsstaten. Her hersker det farlige, det uperfekte og det mørke - i naturen og ikke mindst: i relationer mellem mennesker. I elleve fortættede noveller møder vi bl.a. to pigebørn ladt alene på en øde ø, et barnløst par, en ensom dreng - og ikke mindst: en stålsat, men desperat kvinde, fanget i ægte- og moderskabets kærligt snærende bånd. Groff udfolder sine fortællinger om sorg, ondskab, ensomhed, familie og rendyrket raseri med fintregistrerende præcision, indlevelse, humor og alvor.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK: Lauren Groff ne transportă într-o lume deopotrivă domestică și sălbatică, în care pericolele lumii naturale par să stea veșnic la pândă. Însă cele mai mari amenințări și mistere sunt de natură emoțională, psihologică. Scriitura, amintind de existențialism și realismul magic, e stră­bătută de valuri de tristețe, de câte o străfulgerare de cruzi­me, iar senzația de singurătate și obsesia trecerii timpului sunt omniprezente.

Eine Geschichte von weiblicher Gemeinschaft und Macht. Ein Fest der Erzählfreude, der Erfindungskraft und des Intellekts. Das neue Meisterwerk von Lauren Groff. Marie ist siebzehn Jahre alt, groß und ungelenk und nach allgemeiner Ansicht ungeeignet für die Ehe und das höfische Leben. Sie verehrt ihre Königin, Eleanore von Aquitanien, doch die verstößt sie mit einem Lächeln: Marie soll Priorin eines abgelegenen Klosters werden, irgendwo im Schlamme Englands, fern von den zärtlichen Zuwendungen ihrer Dienerin.
