ates and Furies is a literary masterpiece that defies
expectation. 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. 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.
