beautiful prose, but dark themes submitted by 21621031390949 on June 24, 2019, 9:36pm I wasn't able to finish this set of short stories because the time ran out on my library audiobook loan. But I heard/read enough (more than half) to know that Lauren Groff is an amazing writer. Her prose is lush, exquisite, evocative, and oh-so-beautiful to listen to aloud. Groff's narration/reading is excellent, too, and I just wanted to listen forever.

Except. The stories are dark, very dark and disturbing, too. There are people being hurt, children at risk. Sometimes I just couldn't bear to listen and had to take a break before returning to the book. Other times I wanted to push ahead so I could know they survived in the end. In all cases, though, I was constantly aware of the beauty of the words and I want to go back and read more of Groff's tales.
