Gran narrativa, gran potencial de historia; sin embargo considero que muchos momentos pudieron ser no tan largos y así permitir una mejor expansión de la historia.
Terminó siendo un cliché.

Overall it felt slow, it was only at the last chapters that I felt intrigued with what would happen next.

Not that this book is doing anything totally new but the sense of setting and the pacing were fantastic and the story was engaging from beginning to end.

Nadaje się jako audiobook na spacer czy do sprzątania, ale bez szału. Trochę dziwna książka z mnóstwem niedopowiedzeń, ale to raczej wynika z samego jej zamysłu.

🔥 Five star alert! 🔥
Synopsis: “A creature of routine and decorum, Mrs. March lives an exquisitely controlled existence. 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.”
I can’t begin to explain how much I loved this book!
Mrs March is an unlikable character. She is obsessive, paranoid, judgmental and egocentric, and we live the world through her eyes, in first person narration.
The story is set in the upper class society of New York in what seems to be the 60s-70s, during the Christmas season. Observing Mrs March losing her mind over a casual comment made by someone is eerie and entertaining.
The tone of the novel is darkly funny, tense, creepy at moments, and increasingly disorienting.
If you like to read about complex female characters, “women vs the void”, fever dreams, characters descending into madness, and if you liked “My husband” by Maud Ventura, you’ll love Mrs March.
