“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)
