Grasp Mrs. March Compiled By Virginia Feito Categorized In Pamphlet

probably wouldn't have read/listen to this book if it weren't for the positive feeds on Goodreads, If I don't know the author, I'd look for a pretty cover, I don't like this cover, So many thanks to friends on here who put this book on my radar,

I listened to the sample and just loved it, I love the first third of the book, The pace is consistent throughout, and the writing is very atmospheric, I was hooked for the most part, but this is a predictable story while I was waiting for some kind of a twist.


Mrs. March is married to George March who recently had immense success with his latest novel, Everyone seems to be reading his novel, but her, But then she's told that the protagonist may be based on her, but the character is a prostitute! She becomes suspicious about George and goes through his things and found items that make him even more questionable.
After a while, I don't know what's real and what's Mrs, March's imagination.

I'm going betweenstars, I don't think the second half is as strong as the beginning, Still, it was very entertaining! Yikes! Living inside Mrs, March's head was messing with my mind, The cover is perfect. Those mint green gloves! What are they hiding What do they mean to Mrs, March This was a much anticipated read for me, I have been hearing about it for months, For me it was a solid,/stars. It is most certainly an interesting premise to be fixated on whether you are the inspiration for the notsowholesome heroine of you husband's latest book.
George March did not really come to life for me, He was a bit flat, And what is going on with Jonathan, her son What was most interesting was the fact that Mrs, March is so firmly fixed on her identity as a wife to George March that even in her childhool reminiscing she refers to herself as Mrs.
March. So much to process I need a book buddy to discuss this with, I have so many questions!

Thank you to Liveright and Edelweiss for a DRC in exchange for an honest review.
La Pelma Señora March,


La faja de este libro lleva una frase que dice: La Patricia Highsmith española, Al verlo me dio un escalofrío, ese tipo de comparaciones suelen ser casi siempre desafortunadas y, siempre, un insulto al autor citado.
En este caso, además, es una comparación que no se sostiene de ninguna manera, Feito está tan cerca de parecerse a Patricia Highsmith como yo de ser Beyoncé y puede que yo esté más cerca.


Feito escribe bien y te atrapa enseguida, Sin apenas darte cuenta devoras cien páginas, Entonces, levantas la vista y dices pero qué es esto Durante esas cien páginas Feito nos han hecho seguir a la señora March en su vida diaria, atendiendo a cada mnimo detalle de su insulsa vida y lo que es peor de sus absolutamente anodinos pensamientos.
A partir de la página ciento cincuenta el aburrimiento te devora y lo único que quieres es que la señora March muera o la maten o, mejor aún, ella misma se tropiece con su propia falda y fallezca o se atragante bebiendo te hasta la asfixia.
Además, en este punto y si eres un lector de Highsmith la indignación nubla tu vista, tu mente y te hace proferir todo tipo de insultos hacia el editor.
Esto parecido a cualquiera de las obras de Patricia POR FAVOR, ya no se respeta nada

Una de las características de las protagonistas de Patricia Highsmith es que te hechizan aunque intentes resistirte.
Son personajes terribles que cometen atrocidades y que sabes que no deberían gustarte pero no puedes evitar sentirte atraído por ellos.
Quieres que no los pillen, que se libren de las consecuencias de sus actos, te sorprendes a ti mismo estando de su parte, entendiéndoles.
Con la señora March no pasa eso, no hay atracción ni hechizo ni magnetismo, Diseccionar los pensamientos e ideas de un personaje no es siempre sinónimo de interés, No todos contenemos multitudes ni cosas interesantes y la Sra, March es un personaje insoportable, aburrido, plano y, a veces, idiota,

Mi recomendación para lectores: no lo leáis,

Mi recomendación/ advertencia a los editores: haced el favor de no utilizar el nombre de autores consagrados en vano.
Con la Highsmith no se juega! Definitely a disturbing read, with a complicated character, whose name we learn in the last sentence of the novel.
Opening of the book brings to mind a famous novel by Virginia Wolf, however, several pages into it and we know this book has its own life.

Mrs March, whose husband has just published a book everybody's reading, is cold and distant, probably the effect of the upbringing.
A casual remark she hears changes her and unleashes events leading to a tragic finale,
I was intrigued by the period, it is hard to define, but the clothes and hairstyles and some hints would place it in the midsixties.
I love the cover that reveals something about Mrs March,
Not much is offered to make a reader feel for Mrs March, though she deserves sympathy after the truth about her childhood is revealed.

A solid debut.
Many thanks to Virginia Feito,th Estate William Collins, and NetGalley for arc in exchange for my honest review.
“Mrs. March” by Virginia Feito is one strange suspenseful read, Its an upclose observation of a woman overwhelmed by psychosis, Best of all, theres talk of this being made

into a movie starring Elisabeth Moss,

The story begins deliciously Mrs, March is retrieving her daily olive bread from her favorite bakery, The worker mentions that she is almost finished with Mr, Marchs new novel, and she not only loves the book, but believes that the main character was inspired by Mrs.
March. Mrs. March gasps, “But the main character, itisnt shea whore” Yes, Johanna, the main character, is a prostitute whose johns pay her out of pity, as she is unlovable and wretched.
To Mrs. March, where appearances are everything, this is devastating, Author Feito reenforces this guarded sentiment by referring to Mrs, March by only “Mrs. March”, even in the flashbacks of her youth,

Amazingly, the story takes place in a short period of time of a few days, But we painstakingly learn of the monotony of Mrs, Marchs life. Added to that, Mrs. March was raised by a judgmental mother, thereby making her inner musings very judgmental, Mrs. March lives on the Upper East Side in Manhattan which contributes to her overcritical observations, As we journey through life in Mrs, Marchs head, we feel anxiety, We know this is only getting worse and will not end well, Her delusions overcome her senses and makes the reader question theirs, While Mrs. March goes through her day, we dont fully know what is real and what has she conjured Author Feito brings us along with Mrs.
March so that we start believing what she believes, and then we doubt later,

This is a fantastic story that challenges the reader to ascertain what is real and what is an illusion.
This is a fun trip to crazy,

A deeply unsettling and highly literary thriller in which we enter the increasingly unstable mind of the wife of a famous novelist.
Mrs. March is convinced that her husband based the antiheroine of his latest bestseller on her, his wife of fifteen years, and she's terrified that the unflattering portrait will shatter her image in polite society, quite possibly her most prized possession.
Even though it's slower in pace, this one had my heart pounding the whole way through, See the above review for a deeper character dissection of the disturbed Mrs, March. I can't wait to see Elisabeth Moss take on this character in the forthcoming adaptation! “Well, you can never really know anyone” uttered Mrs.
March. How correct she was

Mrs, March, wife of George March, celebrated novelist, is completing her daily ritual of buying bread when her pleasant and orderly life is brought to a screeching halt.
She finds out that people believe the main character of her husbands new book is based on her, This is anything but flattering, as the character is a prostitute, and not just that, but one so disgusting that her clients refuse to touch her and pay her out of pity.
What could possibly cause comparisons to be drawn between the two, and how could her husband do that to her How can she show her face about town when everyone knows This sets Mrs.
March into a downward spiral where anxiety manifests itself deeper and deeper into paranoia and delusions,

Ive seen quite a few comparisons to Highsmith and Hitchcock floating around and I cant decide if theyre more helpful or harmful.
Theyre apt the book does indeed evoke a very similar feel to both, but I feel like perhaps they also got my hopes up a bit too much for this one That said, this is a DEBUT, and so keeping that in mind, I did find it to be impressive.
I am very much looking forward to seeing Elisabeth Moss bring this character to life, I shall watch it while enjoying some nicely toasted olive bread

The portrayal of Mrs, March as she descends into madness is fantastic, I cant speak for anyone else who suffers from anxiety, but I found a lot of myself in parts of her hello avoiding someone forever based on one awkward social interaction, which made her feel very real.
This wasnt the cheap, exploitative usage of mental health issues that so many suspense books rely on lately where symptoms seem to exist solely to conveniently help along the plot.
Her mental health is the plot, so just be aware of that going in, as I know it can be triggering for some to read about and/or some people will just find it very upsetting to find themselves inside Mrs.
Marchs head.

On the less positive side, the in my opinion extremely heavyhanded narrative technique of only referring to the narrator as Mrs.
March, and the "resolution" of this underwhelmed me, I have to say, It felt very tell versus show to me, and I didn't feel the rest of the book supported the character feeling so wrapped up in her husband's identity.
She felt very unmoored and placed far too much emphasis on others' opinions opinions of her, but it felt to me like a woman with no identity moreso than anything else.
To discuss it further would spoil the book for a new reader, but while I believe I understand the authors intention with it, it did not have the desired impact for me.
Other reviewers do seem to disagree on this point however,

Ultimately, I just came away from this wanting more, Im absolutely fine with ambiguity surrounding Mrs, March and what was actually really happening versus what was a delusion, However I wasnt a fan of these little tidbits that clearly were grounded in reality that would get thrown out there, piquing the readers curiosity, never to be addressed.
Ive criticized books before for basically spoonfeeding the reader, but this went a bit too far toward the other extreme, at least for me.


., rounded up because it's a debut,

A note about the time period: Ill be very curious to see when the film decides to set this.
I think its written to be deliberately ambiguous, but unless there are simply anachronistic mistakes dental veneers and Ralph Lauren wallpaper, Im looking at you, it has to be mids at the earliest.
If it is indeed set in thes ors, it certainly makes Mrs, Marchs formality, which reeks of a bygone era, all the more unsettling, .
