annarella 's review for:

Mrs March by Virginia Feito
5.0

It's a disturbing, darkly humorous and enthralling story. A travel into the mind of a woman after her breakdown.
We don't know a lot about Mrs March, we don't know her name till the end.
But we get to know her mind, her attention to social niceties and how she's easily broken by a casual observation.
It's a slow burning book, a story that it's fascinating and repulsive at times.
The descriptions of New York and of social life made me think of Truman Capote, there's a sort of common dark humor.
The author delivers a story with an unreliable and unlikeable main character, lonely and damaged.
It's an excellent read, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
