Fates and Furies is a 2015 novel by American author Lauren Groff.[1] It is Groff's third novel and fourth book. The book takes place in New York and examines how the different people in a relationship can have disparate views on the relationship. [2] Groff has said that she originally envisioned the novel as two separate books[2], but she was encouraged by her agent to rewrite the two books as one integrated work [3]. Positive reviews called it "masterful" and negative reviews focused on moments of implausibility in the novel's second half.[4] The novel is influenced by Greek Mythology as deities and vengeance are themes throughout. [5][6][7][8]
Fates and Furies was nominated for a National Book Award.[9] The book received extensive press attention.[2]
