Dix ans plus tard, Lotto est devenu un dramaturge au succès planétaire ; Mathilde, dans l'ombre, l'a toujours soutenu. Leur couple est l'image type d'un partenariat réussi.

Eine Geschichte von weiblicher Gemeinschaft und Macht. Ein Fest der Erzählfreude, der Erfindungskraft und des Intellekts. Das neue Meisterwerk von Lauren Groff. Marie ist siebzehn Jahre alt, groß und ungelenk und nach allgemeiner Ansicht ungeeignet für die Ehe und das höfische Leben. Sie verehrt ihre Königin, Eleanore von Aquitanien, doch die verstößt sie mit einem Lächeln: Marie soll Priorin eines abgelegenen Klosters werden, irgendwo im Schlamme Englands, fern von den zärtlichen Zuwendungen ihrer Dienerin.

Lauren Groffs novellesamling, Florida, beskriver skyggesiden af solskinsstaten. Her hersker det farlige, det uperfekte og det mørke - i naturen og ikke mindst: i relationer mellem mennesker. I elleve fortættede noveller møder vi bl.a. to pigebørn ladt alene på en øde ø, et barnløst par, en ensom dreng - og ikke mindst: en stålsat, men desperat kvinde, fanget i ægte- og moderskabets kærligt snærende bånd. Groff udfolder sine fortællinger om sorg, ondskab, ensomhed, familie og rendyrket raseri med fintregistrerende præcision, indlevelse, humor og alvor.

During an eco-friendly cleanup at the beach, Ange finds something horrifying in the brush.

Ti år senere ser vennerne stadig med misundelse på deres liv og aegteskab.

Nur Lotto wagt es, sich Mathilde, der unnahbaren Schönheit, zu nähern. Dass sie füreinander bestimmt sind, scheint eine simple göttliche Gleichung zu sein. Sie lieben sich, sie begehren einander, sie heiraten. Ihre Partys in New York sind legendär, und irgendwann feiert Lotto Triumphe als Dramatiker. Ist das alles tatsächlich glückliche Fügung oder lenkt hier jemand die Geschicke, hält die goldenen Fäden unnachgiebig in der Hand?

Se em Destinos somos seduzidos pela imagem do casal perfeito, em Fúrias a tempestuosa raiva de Mathilde se revela fervendo sob a superfície. Em uma reviravolta emocionalmente complexa, o que começou como uma ode a uma união extraordinária se torna muito mais.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK: Lauren Groff ne transportă într-o lume deopotrivă domestică și sălbatică, în care pericolele lumii naturale par să stea veșnic la pândă. Însă cele mai mari amenințări și mistere sunt de natură emoțională, psihologică. Scriitura, amintind de existențialism și realismul magic, e stră­bătută de valuri de tristețe, de câte o străfulgerare de cruzi­me, iar senzația de singurătate și obsesia trecerii timpului sunt omniprezente.

Dorință mascată de putere sau devotament sincer față de aproape? Aceasta e doar una dintre întrebările pe care le pune în lumină romanul lui Groff. Marie, o bastardă la curtea regală franceză, e trimisă la vârsta de șaptesprezece ani să se ocupe în Anglia de o mănăstire aflată în paragină. Odată devenită stareță, Marie (viitoarea poetă faimoasă pentru laiurile sale) o reconstruiește din temelii: dintr-un loc stăpânit de foamete și boală, abația ajunge să le ofere siguranță și prosperitate măicuțelor.
