Overview
LA PATRICIA HIGHSMITH ESPAÑOLA
Uno de los mejores Libros y Autores del año (Library Journal y The Times), en las listas de más vendidos, que sedujo a los libreros estadounidenses y a Elisabeth Moss, quien encarnará a la protagonista en la gran pantalla
«Un brillante thriller psicológico de una escritora que llega a la altura de las grandes autoras que evoca, como Du Maurier». - The Guardian
La última novela de George March es un gran éxito, y nadie se enorgullece tanto de ello como su devota esposa, la señora March, que lleva una vida exquisitamente ordenada en el Upper East Side.
Una mañana cualquiera, mientras se dispone a comprar el pan de aceitunas en su pastelería favorita, la dependienta insinúa que la protagonista del nuevo libro de George parece inspirada en ella. Este comentario casual le arrebata la certeza de saberlo todo sobre su marido -y sobre ella misma-. Así empieza un viaje alucinado y alucinante que puede desvelar un asesinato y secretos sepultados durante demasiado tiempo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Who is Mrs. March?
George March’s latest novel is a smash. No one could be prouder than his dutiful wife, Mrs. March, who revels in his accolades. A careful creature of routine and decorum, she lives a precariously controlled existence on the Upper East Side until one morning, when the shopkeeper of her favorite patisserie suggests that her husband’s latest protagonist―a detestable character named Johanna―is based on Mrs. March herself. Clutching her ostrich leather pocketbook and mint-colored gloves, she flees the shop. What could have merited this humiliation?
That one casual remark robs Mrs. March of the belief that she knew everything about her husband―and herself―thus sending her on an increasingly paranoid journey that begins within the pages of a book. While snooping in George’s office, Mrs. March finds a newspaper clipping about a missing woman. Did George have anything to do with her disappearance? He’s been going on a lot of “hunting trips” up north with his editor lately, leaving Mrs. March all alone at night with her tormented thoughts, and the cockroaches that have suddenly started to appear, and strange breathing noises . . . As she begins to decode her husband’s secrets, her deafening anxiety and fierce determination threaten everyone in her wake―including her stoic housekeeper, Martha, and her unobtrusive son, Jonathan, whom she loves so profoundly, when she remembers to love him at all.
Combining a Hitchcockian sensibility with wickedly dark humor, Virginia Feito, a brilliantly talented and, at times, mischievous newcomer, offers a razor-sharp exploration of the fragility of identity. A mesmerizing novel of psychological suspense and casebook insecurity turned full-blown neurosis, Mrs. March will have you second-guessing your own seemingly familiar reflection in the mirror.
“I read Virginia’s novel in one sitting and was so captured by it I knew I had to make it and play Mrs. March. As a character, she is fascinating, complex, and deeply human and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into her.” ―Elisabeth Moss
