Media Reviews
Enough betrayal, vengeance and sex to read like one of the Greek tragedies * Observer *
Rich, lyrical and rewarding. * 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 delivers – with 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 *
