“Taut, witty, fiercely intelligent . . . a love triangle in extremis.”—New York Times Book Review (cover review)
Euphoria is Lily King’s nationally bestselling breakout novel of three young, gifted anthropologists of the 1930s caught in a passionate love triangle that threatens their bonds, their careers, and ultimately their lives. Inspired by events in the life of revolutionary anthropologist Margaret Mead, Euphoria is "dazzling . . . suspenseful . . . brilliant . . . an exhilarating novel.” (The Boston Globe)
Customer Reviews
Euphoria
An insightful and deeply moving novel that carries you along on a tale of intermingled humanity. How ironic that in studying the 'uncivilized' tribes one can become more in touch with ones own human foibles. Loved it and well worth a read.
Love of Hearts and Minds
Fantastic story. Loved hearing about the indigenous inhabitants, as well as the anthropologists. I can understand the title “Euphoria” & have felt it myself in different situations. The pages flew by & was sorry to see it end.
Enveloping
Lily King creates a narrative that engulfs and engages you from beginning to end. And though the arc of the story is smooth and almost anticipatory, the story told is fresh and at points surprising.
This is a story to reread.
