And then there’s his adoring and enigmatic wife, Mathilde, who we later find out is a far better actor than Lotto ever was. The title Fates and Furies is a nod to Greek Tragedy, and this novel revels in the themes befitting one—passion, betrayal, vengeance, redemption…You will revel in it, too. There is also something satisfying in finding out the extent to which our own perceptions are skewed as the narrative unfolds. For all the smoke and mirrors, Groff crafts a convincing love story that packs an emotional punch, especially when certain truths are revealed. Picked by the editors as the #1 book of 2015: Many a therapist will tell you that honesty and transparency is the glue that keeps a relationship together. (Until it doesn’t.) Broken up into two parts and numerous perspectives, this dazzlingly told tale of one such marriage introduces us t

Rebekah said Groff relies on Hollywood style plot twists that cast characters as either good or evil. If you want to read a book about privileged white people who attended ivy league schools and who have tons of time to drink and have porn quality sex, then dive right in. If you want a book about a real marriage between real people with real problems, then look elsewhere.I found this book utterly pretentious. Lauren Groff wants us to know on every page--in every sentence, for God's sake--how very, very clever she is. Her. Awful, Pretentious, Unreadable This is the most over-rated, pretentious novel I've read in a long time. The fact that it can recommended (by Amazon) on the same page as the brilliant "A Little Life" really shocks me. I almost never bother to write negative reviews, but this book actually made me angry. Every sentence pushes itself forward as "creative writing," the characters are all cartoons, and the narrative lurches along in the way a B-movie might
At the core of this rich, expansive, layered novel, Lauren Groff presents the story of one such marriage over the course of twenty-four years. A decade later, their marriage is still the envy of their friends, but with an electric thrill we understand that things are even more complicated and remarkable than they have seemed. Every relationship has two perspectives. At age twenty-two, Lotto and Mathilde are tall, glamorous, madly in love, and destined for greatness. A dazzling examination of a marriage, it is also a portrait of creative partnership written by one of the best writers of her generation. Every story has two sides. With stunning revelations and multiple threads, and in prose that is vibrantly alive and original, Groff delivers a deeply satisfying novel about love, art, creativity, and power that is unlike anything that has come before it. Profound, surprising, propulsive, and emotionally riveting, it stirs both the mind and the heart.From the Hardcover edition..
