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.

Dorință mascată de putere sau devotament sincer față de aproape? Aceasta e doar una dintre întrebările pe care le pune în lumină romanul lui Groff. Marie, o bastardă la curtea regală franceză, e trimisă la vârsta de șaptesprezece ani să se ocupe în Anglia de o mănăstire aflată în paragină. Odată devenită stareță, Marie (viitoarea poetă faimoasă pentru laiurile sale) o reconstruiește din temelii: dintr-un loc stăpânit de foamete și boală, abația ajunge să le ofere siguranță și prosperitate măicuțelor.
