Fates and Furies

THE NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Enough betrayal, vengeance and sex to read like one of the Greek tragedies' Observer 'Devastatingly good' Guardian **'Astonishingly beautiful' Financial Times 'Addictive to read' Stylist 'Rich, lyrical and rewarding' Paula Hawkins** 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. **'Groff is a writer of rare gifts' New York Times 'Sexy and achingly beautiful' Good Housekeeping 'A really powerful novel' Barack Obama 'A book to submit to and be knocked out by' Meg Wolitzer** 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 delivers - with comedy, tragedy, well-deployed erudition and unmistakable glimmers of brilliance throughout.'
