Description
""How to live?" That is the question that inspires Nora Hartley and Lark Marin to create a haven for themselves and like-minded friends. Our Arcadia opens in 1928 as the two embark on their quest for meaningful life and buy a house in Truro, on Cape Cod. Nora, thirty-three, is a well-educated divorcee with two young children; Lark is twenty-four, a disaffected homosexual. The story spans fifteen years, as it follows the colorful cast of characters that makes its way into bohemian True House. Inevitably, the friends' haven is not impermeable, and they are unable to keep harsh, sometimes violent, reality at bay."--BOOK JACKET.
