Fates & Furies,Lauren Groff

Fates & Furies - Lauren Groff
Riverhead Books.

At the face of it, Lauren Groff’s novel doesn’t seem modern: it’s the tale of a wedding informed in two halves, one for every spouse. however Fates and Furies is less “he said, she stated” than “he said, she said, and whoa, he had no f—ing idea.” The cataclysmic unknown unknowns that separate Lotto and Mathilde, a golden couple who marry younger and flourish through Lotto’s achievement as a playwright, concurrently explode and strengthen the perception of soul pals—to hide a lot for goodbye, to such placing impact, takes a peculiar form of willpower. If the plot now and again lines credibility (couples’ counseling might have achieved wonders), that doesn’t detract from Groff’s searing exploration of ways far someone will go for romance, loyalty and revenge.
