Arcadia by Lauren Groff
4.0

I agree with Anna that starting in the present tense is offputting- but if you wait out the first few chapters and let your brain run with the narrative, it is well worth it. It's an elegant, lovely book, more successful than her first, I think (and it was also quite good). The end gets a bit tidy, but really until the last bit, it's arresting and interesting, and affecting.
