Items related to Goldengrove
One sultry summer's day, teenage Nico and her vivacious older sister Margaret take a boat out on the lake by their family home. But when Margaret dives in, and doesn't resurface, Nico realizes with horror that her sister is lost to the watery depths for ever.
While her parents drift toward their own risky consolations, Nico searches for solace and security in books, art, and - recklessly - in a fledgling relationship with Margaret's boyfriend. Heartrending and intense, Goldengrove follows a girl on the cusp of adulthood during a summer when a death changes her life for ever.

Review:
'An elegiac farewell to the golden groves of childhood, a slim, sad coming-of-age tale in the great tradition of Carson McCullers' The Member of the Wedding or even Salinger's Catcher in the Rye... Prose modulates beautifully from acute grief to a more ambient tristesse, littering her tale with sharp observations about the way that loss punctuates the everyday for Nico and her distraught parents.' Sarah Churchwell, Guardian 'Books of the Year'
