SET TO BECOME A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING ELIZABETH MOSS

Shirley Jackson meets Ottessa Moshfegh meets My Sister the Serial Killer in a brilliantly unsettling and darkly funny debut novel full of suspense and paranoia

George March's latest novel is a smash hit. None could be prouder than Mrs. March, his dutiful wife, who revels in his accolades and relishes the lifestyle and status his success brings.

A creature of routine and decorum, Mrs. March lives an exquisitely controlled existence on the Upper East Side. Every morning begins the same way, with a visit to her favourite patisserie to buy a loaf of
olive bread, but her latest trip proves to be her last when she suffers an indignity from which she may never recover: an assumption by the shopkeeper that the protagonist in George March's new book
a pathetic sex worker, more a figure of derision than desire is based on Mrs. March.

One casual remark robs Mrs. March not only of her beloved olive bread but of the belief that she knew everything about her husband and herself sending her on an increasingly paranoid journey, one
that starts within the pages of a book but may very well uncover both a killer and the long-buried secrets of Mrs. March's past.

A razor-sharp exploration of the fragility of identity and the smothering weight of expectations, Mrs. March heralds the arrival of a wicked and wonderful new voice.

The psychological exploration of a long-term marriage in a small, rural town forms the crux of this top literary fiction. The relationships within the March family are put under a microscope, revealing the fragility of identity and the overwhelming burden of expectations.

For fans of Maggie O'Farrell (Hamnet), Elizabeth Strout (Lucy by the Sea), Kate Atkinson (Shrines of Gaiety), Lauren Groff (The Vaster Wilds), and Barbara Kingsolver (Demon Copperhead).
