The stories in this collection span characters, towns, decades, even centuries, but Florida—its landscape, climate, history, and state of mind—becomes its gravitational center. Storms, snakes, and sinkholes lurk at the edge of everyday life, but the greater threats and mysteries are of a human, emotional, and psychological nature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGroff's evocative storytelling and knife-sharp intelligence first transport the reader, then jolt us alert with a crackle of wit, a wave of sadness, a flash of cruelty, as she writes about loneliness, rage, family, and the passage of time. With shocking accuracy and effect, Groff pinpoints the moments and decisions and connections behind human pleasure and pain, hope and despair, love and fury—the moments that make us alive. Vigorous, startling, precise, and moving, \u003ci\u003eFlorida\u003c\/i\u003e is a magnificent achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Diversified Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012279943408,"sku":"9780525631965","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780525631965_p0.jpg?v=1763711209","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780525631965","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
