Fates and furies

So this book is getting a lot of hype... It deserves it. I found the characters of Lotto and Mathilde fascinating. Throughout the reading of this novel, I was so invested in the uncovering of who they were. It has been compared to Gone Girl. I guess the comparison is hard to resist. But I think it is a little unfair. Amy Dunne in Gone Girl is just evil. There is not love between Amy and Nick. In “Fates and Furies,” Lotto and Mathilde have depth. Sometimes the layers are unattractive but as you follow their lives, the layers make sense. And no spoiler... this is the story of the ups and downs of marriage.

Enjoyed this book a lot - I think it will be one of my favorites from 2015.
