Mrs March- Virginia Feito

Shirley Jackson meets Ottessa Moshfegh meets My Sister the Serial Killer.

Mrs. March, wife of a successful novelist, grande dame of her Upper East Side apartment, gets a shock when buying an olive bread. The baker believes her husband’s latest novel features her as the protagonist- the damaged sex-worker protagonist.

From there her sense of self-worth, self-knowing and reality crumble. This is a darkly comic, often farcical and yet deeply touching tale of one woman’s unravelling.
