We all know that keeping a happy marriage can be hard work sometimes. Lauren Groff’s literary masterpiece Fates and Furies examines what it means to be a partner, husband, wife…
Every story has two sides, two perspectives and Lauren’s poetic examination of marriage isn’t all it seems. The rich, dazzling novel centres around Lotto and Mathilde, a couple who meet as students and fall madly in love. A decade later and their relationship is still the envy of their friends. They are the perfect couple. But we soon learn that things are more complicated than they seem. There are definite echoes of Gone Girl as the novel unfolds surprising and emotionally riveting details about the couple’s relationship.
Fates and Furies is a total page turner that stirs both the mind and the heart. A great read for a Saturday spent on a sun lounger.
