Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff
5.0
I didn't want to love this. Rich white people on the east coast? What a cliche topic for a book. Love and marriage? More cliches.
But the depth and the beauty and the humor and the surprise of it all. First it's Romeo and Juliet and then it's Othello and then it's Titus Andronicus and then -- well, I'll leave the final bit off, just read it and see.
Remarkable book. Except for the very last one-page chapter, which tried, it seemed, to tame the furies into a more acceptable story.
