In this astonishing debut, the venerable but gossipy New York literary scene is twisted into a claustrophobic fun house of paranoia, horror, and wickedly dark humor. George March’s latest novel is a smash. No one is prouder than Mrs. March, his doting wife. But one morning, the shopkeeper of her favorite patisserie suggests that his protagonist is based on Mrs. March herself. Clutching her ostrich-leather pocketbook, she flees, that one casual remark destroying her belief that she knew everything about her husband - as well as herself.

Well articulated and yet repetitive
Revisado: 08-28-21
The writer is talented and her use of words and flow of sentences in this story does capture what it’s like in the mind of one who becomes increasingly paranoid.
The problem is, after a while, her worrisome thoughts become quite repetitive and you really get enough of this unlikeable main character early. I did ... about a third of the way into the story. I took a break and then continued on and finally had to finally quit about half way through the book.
The writer has good potential. She needs to try again though. I do not recommend this read.

Allan Gurganus's Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All became an instant classic upon its publication. Critics and fans alike fell in love with the voice of 99-year-old Confederate widow Lucy Marsden, one of the most entertaining and loquacious heroines in American literature. Lucy married at the turn of the 20th century, when she was 15 and her husband was 50. If Colonel William Marsden was a veteran of the "War for Southern Independence", Lucy became a "veteran of the veteran" with a unique perspective on Southern history and Southern manhood.

Dated.

This book was written in the time when it was OK to write about the glory days of Southern white supremacy. Nowadays, It seems offensive to me. That's just my opinion.
The main character Lucy is an awesome woman. I don't know if she is fictional or not? Nevertheless, she had to bear a lot of pain and suffering in her long marriage to that awful man.
