Mrs. March by Virginia Feito

4.25

 Unpopular opinion, I really liked this. I have been having a year of wives books with books like Cursed Bread, My Husband, and Our Wives Under The Sea and I find them fascinating. I particularly love it when the narrator is falling slowly into madness. It reminds me a bit of one of my favorite shorts The Yellow Wallpaper. Here the Wife's husband has written a story with a disagreeable protagonist and when a shop woman asks if she is based on Mrs. she starts a quick spiral. It goes so far our Mrs starts to believe her husband has killed a woman in a different state. I loved the atmosphere of the book set in the early 60s where cocktails and housekeepers and dressing up for dinner are still in vogue. I also love how the author gives you room to both pity and despise Mrs March.
