Synopsis
Fates and Furies meets The Silent Patient when movie star Lila Crayne and her film director fiancé embark on a feminist adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald&’s Tender Is the Night, prompting Lila to excavate her past in preparation for her leading role—but in doing so, she becomes entangled in a deadly game of revenge in which everyone, on screen and off, is playing a part.Lila Crayne is America&’s sweetheart: she&’s generous and kind, gorgeous and magnetic, and she&’s loved the whole world over. She and her boyfriend, visionary filmmaker Kurt Royall, have settled into a stunning apartment in the West Village, and are embarking on a modern feminist adaptation of Fitzgerald&’s Tender Is the Night. To prepare for the leading role, Lila begins work with charming and accomplished therapist Jonah Gabriel to dig into the trauma of her past. Soon, Lila&’s impeccably manicured life begins to unravel on the therapy couch—and Jonah is just the man to pick up the pieces. But everyone has a secret, and no one is quite who they seem; before long, careers, reputations, and lives are in danger of being irrevocably destroyed. A twisty, thought-provoking novel told through the lens of the film industry, and in conversation with the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sweet Fury takes a hard look at America&’s deep-rooted misogyny, and offers a fresh take on the aftermath of the #MeToo movement. A meta novel of construction and deconstruction about the narratives we tell ourselves—and what happens when we co-opt others into those stories—Sweet Fury examines the true meaning of justice, and the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator.
