Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff

This book has gotten rave reviews (although I just read the one from the New Yorker and it's not a rave), and I have enjoyed Groff's other novels so I was psyched to pick it off the shelf of my local library.
I liked it in fits and starts....at first I was drawn in aggressively, but my interest would wane.  The novel tells the story of a marriage in two parts: first from the husband's (Lotto) point of view and then from Mathilde's.  They are both interesting characters, and I wish I had known from the start that the novel would progress as it did (two parts told from two different points of view).
None of the characters are particularly likable, so I sometimes lost interest.
I also lost interest when Lotto's plays were included as chapters.  I am notparticularly fond of that technique.
In any event, I am glad that I read it and would recommend it with  some conditionals.....
