Every story has two sides. Every relationship has two perspectives. And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets. 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. At age twenty-two, Lotto and Mathilde are tall, glamorous, madly in love, and destined for greatness. 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. 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.

Review:
"Enough betrayal, vengeance and sex to read like one of the Greek tragedies" (Observer)

"Rich, lyrical and rewarding." (Paula Hawkins, author of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN Guardian (Books of the Year))

"A lyrical and, at times, astonishingly beautiful account of how little it is possible to know about those closest to us." (Financial Times)

"Addictive to read ... Groff has drawn a woman so complex it seems that with every chapter a new layer is revealed, each as deliciously intriguing as the next ... The result is a compelling portrait of an unconventional marriage across two decades." (Stylist)

"[A] stunning achievement. The plotting is elegant, intricate and assured . . . it will give you much to savour." (Independent)

"Absorbing and beautifully written, this is a riveting study of love, power and creativity." (Sunday Express)

"A truly special novel ... if you haven't read her before, I'm delighted to take the credit for introducing you to one of your new favourite authors." (The Pool)

"A searing exploration of how far a person will go for love, loyalty and revenge." (Time)

"Rare and impressive... Groff has created a novel of extraordinary and genuine complexity...The word “ambitious” is often used as code for “overly ambitious”, a signal that an author’s execution has fallen short. No such hidden message here. Lauren Groff is a writer of rare gifts, and Fates and Furies is an unabashedly ambitious novel that deliverswith comedy, tragedy, well-deployed erudition and unmistakable glimmers of brilliance throughout." (New York Times)

"A book to submit to and be knocked out by." (Meg Wolitzer)
