Profound, surprising, propulsive, and emotionally riveting, it stirs both the mind and the heart.“The day I returned to Templeton steeped in disgrace, the fifty-foot corpse of a monster surfaced in Lake Glimmerglass.” So begins The Monsters of Templeton, a novel spanning two centuries: part a contemporary story of a girl’s search for her father, part historical novel, and part ghost story. With stunning revelations and multiple threads, and in prose that is vibrantly alive and original, Groff delivers a deeply satisfying novel about love, art, creativity, and power that is unlike anything that has come before it. A decade later, their marriage is still the envy of their friends, but with an electric thrill we understand that things are even more complicated and remarkable than they have seemed. At age twenty-two, Lotto and Mathilde are tall, glamorous, madly in love, and destined for greatness. At the core of this rich, expansive, layered novel, Lauren Groff presents the story of one such marriage over the course of twenty-four years. And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets.
A dazzling examination of a marriage, it is also a portrait of creative partnership written by one of the best writers of her generation.
