SET TO BECOME A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING ELIZABETH MOSS.

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.

Product description

Džordža Mārča jaunākais romāns ir liels hits. Neviens nevar būt lepnāks par Mārča kundzi, viņa apzinīgo sievu, kura priecājas par viņa uzslavām un izbauda dzīvesveidu un statusu, ko sniedz viņa panākumi.

Kārtības un pieklājības būtne - Mārča kundze - dzīvo izsmalcināti kontrolēti Īstsaidas ziemeļos. Katrs rīts sākas vienādi - ar viņas iecienītākās konditorejas apmeklējumu, lai nopirktu olīvmaizes klaipu, taču viņas pēdējais apmeklējums izrādās patiešām pēdējais, kad viņa cieš no aizvainojuma, no kura viņa, iespējams, nekad neatgūsies: veikalnieces pieņēmuma, ka Džordža Mārča jaunās grāmatas galvenā varone – nožēlojama seksa darbiniece, vairāk izsmiekla, nevis kaisles tēls – ir balstīta uz Mārčas kundzi.

Viena nejauša piezīme atņem Mārčas kundzei ne tikai viņas mīļoto olīvmaizi, bet arī pārliecību, ka viņa zināja visu par savu vīru – un sevi –, sūtot viņu arvien paranoiskākā ceļojumā, kas sākas grāmatas lappusēs, bet var ļoti labi atklāt gan slepkavu, gan sen apglabātos Mārčas kundzes pagātnes noslēpumus.

Identitātes trausluma un gaidu smaguma asa izpēte, grāmata liecina par nežēlīgas un brīnišķīgas jaunas balss ierašanos.
