KINGEager to clean up his act after his troubled early twenties,
Owen has returned to Kentucky to take a job as a groundskeeper at a
small college in the Appalachian foothills, one which allows him to
enrol on their writing course. It's there that he meets Alma, a
Writer-in-Residence, who seems to have everything Owen doesn't - a
prestigious position, an Ivy League education, and published
success as a writer.They begin a secret relationship, and as they
grow closer, Alma, from a supportive, liberal family of Bosnian
immigrants, struggles to understand Owen's fraught relationship
with his own family and home. Exploring the boundaries between life
and art, and how our upbringings affect the people we can become,
Groundskeeping is at heart a love story - a novel about two very
different people navigating the turbulence of an all-consuming
relationship, and the complications which can ruin it.
