Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff
390 Pages
"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."
The book is divided into two parts, the relationship from Lotto's POV and then from Mathilde's POV. It is interesting how their perceptions of events differ and the underlying motivations shaping those perceptions. While at times slow, I did enjoy Groff's writing and the love story of Lotto and Mathilde.
