Loved 🥰 so epic and need to reread
The poetry and writing is just stunning! I wish I had time to study it.
Was epic and powerful and complex and forgiving insight into us all and our vulnerable forays into the darkness

I loved this book!
I loved this book. The writing is exquisite; I found myself admiring phrases and descriptions. It is all about character and the complexities of people. It is about love and family, belonging and not belonging. The book is divided into two: section one is the Fates and it focuses on Lotto, his marriage with Mathilde and his career as a playwright; section two is the Furies and here we discover the life of Mathilde. Each section is told from the perspective of the main character of that section. The narrative is original and peppered throughout is Greek mythology. The complications of relationships reminds me of Greek stories. I’ll be looking for Lauren Groff’s two other novels now.

Wow.
I guess I am the right reader. At exactly the right time in my life, by a mere matter of weeks, or even the days it took me to get to the end. But, this was the book for me right now.

Unrewarding slog
Story was overly long and indulgent.
I persisted hoping it would get better. It didn't.
