Publisher's summary
Set to become a major motion picture starring Elizabeth Moss.
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.
George March’s 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.
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 olive 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 March’s new book - a pathetic sex worker, more a figure of derision than desire - is based on Mrs March.
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 that starts within the pages of a book but may very well uncover both a killer and the long-buried secrets of Mrs March’s past.
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.
Critic reviews
"I read Mrs March in one sitting and was so captured by it.... As a character, [Mrs March] is fascinating, complex, and deeply human." (Elizabeth Moss)
"Mrs. March is just the Madame Bovary-meets-Patricia Highsmith feminist psychoanalytic comedy-of-manners thriller that I didn't know I so desperately needed. I almost destroyed my life by staying up so late reading. I am lucky my house is still standing." (Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot)
"A delicious, disorienting study of suspicion, societal pressure and shifting identities, brilliantly rendered. I swallowed this tale down as greedily as if it were Mrs. March's beloved olive bread." (Rachel Edwards, author of Darling)
"Nastily good fun." (Metro)
