Description
Shooting Martha is a darkly comic novel about a woman who returns to life in a surprising way. When her husband hires an actress to impersonate her, she finds herself trapped in a role that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. As the actress spends more time in the mansion, she uncovers secrets about her character's past that threaten to upend everything. The novel is a mix of psychological insight and witty humor, with a pace that builds towards a surprising conclusion. Set against the backdrop of a film set and a villa in France, Shooting Martha is a thought-provoking exploration of identity, marriage, and the power of performance.
