**A BARACK OBAMA BOOK OF THE YEAR****2018 National Book Awards Finalist**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.
Following Groff's acclaimed novel "Fates & Furies", this collection of stories united by a Floridian setting addresses an everyday experience complicated enough without the storms, snakes and sinkholes of its vividly rendered backdrop.
