Description

From the best-selling writer of The Creatures of Templeton comes a lyrical and gripping tale of the great American dream. Within the areas of western Ny State in the 1970s, several dozen idealists attempted to live off the land, beginning what would turn into a commune based on the causes of the rotting estate named Arcadia Home. Arcadia uses this intimate, rollicking, and heartbreaking utopian desire from its optimistic start through its zenith and after. Arcadia's occupants contain Useful, an artist and the party's charismatic leader; Astrid, a midwife; Abe, a master carpenter; Hannah, a chef and historian; and Abe and Hannah's only child, the book's character, Tad, who's delivered right after the commune is done.
