One sentence synopsis... The story of a marriage divided into two parts - ‘Fates', centered around good-hearted (yet narcissistic) playwright Lotto and ‘Furies', shifting to focus on the mysterious ‘ice queen' Mathilde.

Read it if you like... stories where the couple at the center have two radically disparate views of their relationship and life together, ie. Gone Girl. Unconventional writing - Groff's sentences are more like declarative statements and she occasionally interrupts the narrative with Greek chorus-like asides.

Dream casting... Will Poulter as Lotto. Anya Taylor-Joy as Mathilde.
