sandygx260 's review for:
Mrs. March
by Virginia Feito
I disagree with the description that her husband's book drove Mrs. March into madness. From the start, this woman is many sandwiches sort of a picnic, a few cans short of a six-pack... pick the mental health cliche and there is our Mrs. March.
This disturbing, darkly-comedic ramble through Mrs. March's desperate life is unsettling as hell. The reader is trapped in her mind, which is a nasty place to dwell. Mrs. March is a preening, self-important failure. Mrs. March is the star of her slow-motion mental train wreck. Mrs. March can't drive. Mrs. March can't operate the microwave. Mrs. March can't operate the washing machine. Mrs. March can't relate to people in the real world without imagining herself as the hero.
Then matters become far worse. A reality she's created is far more tragic than our mad Mrs. March imagines. At the end, Mrs. March takes matters into her own hands.
The ending was a little disappointing but...fairly accurate to Mrs. March's madness.
Mrs. March is fascinating debut novel.
