Description
Shirley Jackson meets Ottessa Moshfegh meets My Sister the Serial Killer in a brilliantly unsettling and darkly funny debut novel. Mrs March, the dutiful wife of a bestselling author, 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.
A casual remark by the shopkeeper 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 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.
