Richard Russo says of Lauren Groff’s new novel: “Richly peopled and ambitious and oh, so lovely, Lauren Groff’s Arcadia is one of the most moving and satisfying novels I’ve read in a long time. It’s not possible to write any better without showing off.”

And Jill McCorkle says of Megan Mayhew Bergman’s book: “A big-hearted collection of stories–each one a precise and compassionate study of human life, the changes and obstacles–all carefully housed under the miracles and marvels of nature. Megan Mayhew Bergman is a brilliantly gifted writer who recognizes and highlights life’s fragilities in a way that will leave your heart aching while also finding those bits of hilarity and absurdity that bring uniqueness to each and every creature.”
