At the core of this rich, expansive, layered novel, Lauren Groff presents the story of one such marriage over the course of 24 years.

And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets. A dazzling examination of a marriage, it is also a portrait of creative partnership written by one of the best writers of her generation. FATES AND FURIES is a literary masterpiece that defies expectation.
