About the book: 2022 / EDITORS' CHOICE USA TODAY AND OPRAH DAILY. FILM Adaptation SOON STARRING ELIZABETH MOSS. George March's latest novel is a real diamond in the world of literature. Who else but the writer's wife should be proud of her talented husband? Mrs. March basks in his glory, accepts compliments and throws parties. But one morning everything changes. A saleswoman she knows at her favorite candy store notices that the main character of George's latest novel is based on none other than the writer's wife. "But... isn't she... a whore?" Suddenly, poor Mrs. March loses confidence that she even knows her husband and... herself. Later, having accidentally discovered a newspaper clipping in George's office about a missing young girl, she begins to suspect him of murder. From now on, everything ceases to be what it seems. In search of the truth, Mrs. March embarks on a painful journey through the dark corners of her mind, close to psychosis. Beginning in the pages of an ill-fated novel, it may lead her to both a killer and long-buried secrets of the past. And above all, she must find out: who is Mrs. March? in a tent of paranoia and dark visions. While reading, you, like the main character, will begin to doubt even your own reflection in the mirror. “I read Virginia Feito’s novel in one sitting and was so captivated by it that I knew I had to do this. I got to play Mrs. March. As a character, she is fascinating, complex and deeply human, and I can’t wait to start filming!” – Elisabeth Moss “An elegant, well-executed debut that is striking in its believability.” – Publishers Weekly “The final pages of the novel are a real shocker! So much so that the reader immediately has a desire to return to the beginning and understand how the author managed to fulfill his plan so brilliantly!” – The New York Times “Mrs. March's flights of fancy, which lead to episodes of psychosis and childhood flashbacks, are truly creepy. Even readers will begin to doubt where is reality and where is fiction.” – Library Journal “Feito seems to trap the reader inside the mind of this woman, inside the crumbling psyche of Mrs. March - through an excruciatingly accurate rendering of her hallucinations. The author masterfully orchestrates all the horrors and breakdowns of the heroine. This gothic novel brilliantly reveals the horrific consequences of neglect and cruelty." – Booklist
