Sinopsis
At the center of Francine Prose's profoundly moving new novel is a young girl facing the consequences of sudden loss after the death of her sister. As her parents drift toward their own risky consolations, thirteen-year-old Nico is left alone to grope toward understanding and clarity, falling into a seductive, dangerous relationship with her sister's enigmatic boyfriend. Over one haunted summer, Nico must face that life-changing moment when children realize their parents can no longer help them. She learns about the power of art, of time and place, the mystery of loss and recovery. But for all the darkness at the novel's heart, the narrative itself is radiant with the lightness of summer and charged by the restless sexual tension of teenage life.

Críticas
"Arguably, "Goldengrove" is her best book yet."--Seattle Times
"Prose locates the life force that gives her narrator the quirky, irreverent but undeniable sound of a survivor. . . . Prose is tremendously skilled."--Chicago Tribune
"With a dazzling mix of directness and metaphor, Prose captures the centrifugal and isolating force of grief...Prose exquisitely renders her characters' grief and bafflement."--Los Angeles Times
"With perfect pitch and no trace of sentimentality, Prose . . . lands on the precise emotional key for this novel . . . allowing humor and compassion to seep through the cracks of an otherwise dark tale."--San Francisco Chronicle
"Prose holds up a mirror to grief and family life we can't look away from, revealing their truths on page after page, in beautifully crafted writing."--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"A beautiful narrative that defines resilience as the sometimes heartbreaking act of simply living"--Redbook Magazine
"Prose creates characters with real flaws that make the reader both love and hate them. It is easy to put oneself in the position of any of the players..."--Deseret Morning News
"Insightful, lyrical... "Goldengrove" is beautifully and simply written...a moving portrait of the search for identity through a landscape of pain and loss."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"An exploration of the fragility of adolescent identity and the perilous undertow of grief"--O magazine
"A poignant account of growing up amid sorrow...a tender and moving story of adolescent love."--Hartford Courant
