Join the Southwest Book Club to discuss fiction by Lauren Groff: Her latest novel The Vaster Wilds and her short story collection: Florida. The Vaster Wilds follows the flight of a servant girl through the Colonial American wilderness. Part historical fiction, part horror, part thriller, and part wilderness survival tale. This story is about the lengths to which we will go to stay alive. Groff's Florida is a collection of stories spanning centuries of time in mercurial Florida. The stories examine the decisions and connections behind life-changing events in characters ranging from two abandoned sisters to a conflicted family woman.
