Fates and Furies

24年的婚姻究竟隱藏多少秘密？
今秋最期待，《坦伯頓暗影》作者入圍美國國家圖書獎最新力作登場！

　　羅圖和瑪蒂爾德，一對令人稱羨的22歲情侶，儘管在結婚兩星期後就沒有人看好這樁婚姻能夠持續，但他倆卻決定要維繫這段婚姻直到天長地久。

　　然而每則故事都有兩面，每段關係都有兩種不同觀點。有時候，一樁偉大婚姻的關鍵不在於表面上看到的真相，而在於底下隱藏的秘密。羅圖和瑪蒂爾德的關係正是如此，他們遠比外人看到的還要複雜許多。

　　在這本小說中，作者勞倫．葛洛芙以多層次的角度，抽絲剝繭一樁婚姻在24年時間裡發生的點點滴滴。以《坦伯頓暗影》（The Monsters of Templeton）及《阿卡迪亞》（Arcadia）驚豔文壇的葛洛芙，這次要以《Fates and Furies》這本關於愛情、藝術與創意的小說，顛覆讀者心靈與期待！（文／博客來編譯）

　　From the award-winning, New York Times- bestselling author of The Monsters of Templeton and Arcadia, one of the most anticipated books of the fall: an exhilarating novel about marriage, creativity, art, and perception. 

 

　　Fates and Furies is a literary masterpiece that defies expectation. A dazzling examination of a marriage, it is also a portrait of creative partnership written by one of the best writers of her generation. 

 

　　Every story has two sides. Every relationship has two perspectives. And sometimes, it turns out, the key to a great marriage is not its truths but its secrets. At the core of this rich, expansive, layered novel, Lauren Groff presents the story of one such marriage over the course of twenty-four years.

 

　　At age twenty-two, Lotto and Mathilde are tall, glamorous, madly in love, and destined for greatness. A decade later, their marriage is still the envy of their friends, but with an electric thrill we understand that things are even more complicated and remarkable than they have seemed. With stunning revelations and multiple threads, and in prose that is vibrantly alive and original, Groff delivers a deeply satisfying novel about love, art, creativity, and power that is unlike anything that has come before it. Profound, surprising, propulsive, and emotionally riveting, it stirs both the mind and the heart.
