Mrs March, what a fantastic trip it has been!!! Mrs March put me through the wringer. I started reading it at 5pm. I finished it at 10pm, speechless. Unable to sleep and unable to stop thinking about her, I got up very early, went for a long walk and started reading it again upon my return. Even after a second and much slower reading I'm still left speechless...
Virginia Feito's unbelievable journey into Mrs March's inner world is beyond brilliant, almost beyond comprehension. An emotionally charged portrait of a woman on the verge of implosion, a visceral descent into self destruction. Is she a victim? Is she going totally bonkers? Is she a conniving vixen?....Questions I would rather leave unanswered because I would be too afraid to spill the beans.....
Furthermore I would be unable to give other readers one honest answer because I'm still trying to come to terms with Mrs March's fictional being/beings and it might prove a bit too difficult to resolve the issue without a third or fourth reading...

Reading this powerful and unforgettable novel I had the feeling at one point that Evan Connell's Mrs Bridge was inviting Isabelle Huppert to step out of "Elle" and the "Piano teacher" in order to drop acid and read Kafka's Metamorphosis aloud👍👍
Please don't miss this fantastic novel. Please🙏

Many many thanks to Netgalley and 4th Estate/William Collins for the ARC and the mind-blowing reading experience it gave me

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

I have no idea what this book is and I was genuinely baffled where it was going throughout, but I just loved the heck out of it. Run, don’t walk, to read this book. Easy 5
