Our Arcadia — Robin Lippincott

In 1928, two friends--Nora Hartley, a well-educated divorcTe with two young children, and Lark Martin, a young homosexual man--decide to create a haven for themselves and like-minded friends and purchase a house in Truro on Cape Cod, in an evocative story of friendship, the link between life and art, and the redemptive power of imagination.
