Not what I expected. Fates and Furies; one of the best books of the year; a story about marriage. None of these are an accurate description of what I just read.

For starters, the title is all wrong. I came up with a few suggestions I think might be better:

  • Sex, Lies, and Playacting

  • Lar's Von Trier's Nymphomaniac, Part One: Fates; Part Two: Furies

  • What's Love Got to Do with It

  • Indecent Proposal
