See Featured Authors Answering Questions. Denise Bogard asked:. To answer questions about Fates and Furies , please sign up. Guineveruca I am relieved to see this question. I'm 2 chapters in and, while it's an easy enough read, there is nothing enjoyable about the book. The writing is highly contrived and does nothing to make the main character sympathetic or even interesting. Life just sort of happens to this charmed-yet-cursed make up your mind already boy. The set up for the marriage that is supposed to be this amazing relationship between these amazing people? Don't care. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to plow through, or if this will be another Lovely Bones, where a really terrible book gets inexplicable accolades from all corners. If I have to wait until the 2nd half of the book before things improve, no thanks. This is someone with a thesaurus writing the Cliffs Notes to an angsty melodrama. Write a comment

A dazzling examination of a marriage. Many thanks to the publishers who allow a glimpse. Are we supposed to feel bad for Lotto?

January 04, From the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of The Monsters of Templeton and Arcadia , an exhilarating novel about marriage, creativity, art, and perception. Fates 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.

I too was questioning continuing. Party madness. Or, when you are white [Floridian, or Parisian] and your privilege must be earned Prose that sings and soars and melts like butter on your tongue. I'm 60 pages into Fates and Furies and not sure if I want to continue. Where champagne must grow, too the fertile Hudson Valley! I could search the names and get transported right back to the scenes where the characters were mentioned. He is malleable in the hands of the women who direct his life, from his mother, to his sister, to his wife, Mathilde. As his name would suggest he's a buffoonish knight in expensive armour. It actually inspired me in my own writing. However, I really dislike anything that is heavily "anti-marriage". It's not my type of book, so consider this critique with the proverbial mountain of salt. No epiphany there of course, but I was still interested in what Groff might do with this. I think this book is an excellent commentary on marriage And this play is no flash in the pan, either.

I love the different techniques and plot devices the author uses to reveal different twists and character "tells. If you'd like to also read a positive take on this one from one of my trusted reviewers we can't see eye to eye on every thing or life would be boring! The Legends of Thezmarr is, in my humble opinion, kind of the perfect fantasy series. Near the end of the book, Mathilde begins to write plays as well, including one called Volumnia. The only expectation it defies is that of one expecting to read good literature. Seriously, Helen has perfectly built so many plot points in this overall series and it was just EPIC to see this story continue to grow. Nancy i questioned whether to keep reading, too. I don't know if this her usual style as I haven't read anything of hers - and this certainly does not encourage me to read her earlier books. With that view complete, in the second half we get Mathilde's perspective as clarifying commentary, upsetting what we thought we knew through both the content delivered as well as by bouncing around with time-jumps. On the positive note If you like convoluted metaphors and improbable life stories, you will enjoy this book.
