This story is split in two. The first half of the book is told through the perspective of Lotto, and the second half of the book we get to explore his wife, Mathilde's, perspective. Lotto is a bold, passionate man who comes from wealthy parents, but does not get to see any money because he goes against his mother's wishes and marries Mathilde. Following an accident in her childhood, Mathilde is sent to live with her wealthy uncle, and she never hears from her parents.
There are always three sides to every story, and I loved getting to see how their marriage evolved over 20+ years through each of their eyes. I also really appreciated getting to see their stories before they met one another, and how their hardships molded them into the people they needed from each other. They each harbored secrets, and it was really interesting to see. I found Lotto as a person annoying, and I did not vibe with the first half of the book, but as soon as we started to get Mathilde's perspective, I was hooked.
