Mrs March

Nastily good fun Metro\r\n \r\n SET TO BECOME A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING ELIZABETH MOSS\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n Shirley Jackson meets Ottessa Moshfegh meets My Sister the Serial Killer in a brilliantly unsettling and darkly funny debut novel full of suspense and paranoia\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n George Marchs latest novel is a smash hit. None could be prouder than Mrs. March, his dutiful wife, who revels in his accolades and relishes the lifestyle and status his success brings.\r\n\r\n\r\n A creature of routine and decorum, Mrs. March lives an exquisitely controlled existence on the Upper East Side. Every morning begins the same way, with a visit to her favourite patisserie to buy a loaf of\r\nolive bread, but her latest trip proves to be her last when she suffers an indignity from which she may never recover: an assumption by the shopkeeper that the protagonist in George Marchs new book -\r\na pathetic sex worker, more a figure of derision than desire - is based on Mrs. March.\r\n\r\n\r\n One casual remark robs Mrs. March not only of her beloved olive bread but of the belief that she knew everything about her husband - and herself - sending her on an increasingly paranoid journey, one\r\nthat starts within the pages of a book but may very well uncover both a killer and the long-buried secrets of Mrs. Marchs past.\r\n\r\n\r\n A razor-sharp exploration of the fragility of identity and the smothering weight of expectations, Mrs. March heralds the arrival of a wicked and wonderful new voice.
