Groff deftly shows how one person’s background can shape his/her perspective on events…sometimes ending up with a vastly different interpretation than others. I love the overall theme of differing perspectives, particularly as it relates to a marriage. Marriage, differing perspectives, secrets/betrayal What I Liked It was the book I was most excited about coming out of BEA. The Riverhead rep at BEA’s Book Group Speed Dating event sold the living daylights out of this novel. The story of the marriage of Lotto, a gregarious aspiring actor from a wealthy background, and Mathilde, a mysterious model he met in college, told first from Lotto’s perspective, then from Mathilde’s. Overall, pushing through the beginning was worth it for me and I’m adding it to my Book Club Recommendation List. The first section (Fates) was a 2 or 3 star slog, but the second section (Furies) is unquestionably a 5 star read.
