'I read Mrs March in one sitting and was so captured by it . As a character, [Mrs March] is fascinating, complex, and deeply human' Elisabeth Moss 'Feito nods deftly to her forebears - there are shades of Hitchcock and Highsmith here, as well as The Yellow Wallpaper, while the opening chapter puts one in mind of Woolf's Mrs Dalloway . Nastily good fun' Claire Allfree, Metro 'Virginia Feito's noirish debut novel left me rapt, gleefully ambivalent about her eponymous protagonist: did I like her? Did I find her funny? Did I want to hug her? Was I bit a scared of her? Did I relate to her? To all of the above: yes . an elegant, claustrophobic psychological thriller that feels incredibly original' Evening Standard 'A delicious, disorienting study of suspicion, societal pressure and shifting identities, brilliantly rendered. I swallowed this tale down as greedily as if it were Mrs. March's beloved olive bread' Rachel Edwards, author of Darling 'Original, darkly funny psychological drama . the atmosphere of queasy foreboding is compelling, as is the portrayal of a flawed, troubled and complex individual trying to keep it together while coming apart at the seams' Economist 'A brilliantly tense psychological study from a writer who keeps pace with the grandees she invokes - Du Maurier, for one . Feito has done that most horrible, wonderful and truly novelistic of things: she has seen right through Mrs March and into the shameful, petty, maggoty secrets that everybody carries' Guardian 'Gloriously grotesque: tormented by the desire for glossy magazine perfection; cruelly judgemental; frantic to believe the world revolves around her.

And yet Feito makes her guilt-inducingly relatable.The gothic awfulness of her predicament reminds you of Ottessa Moshfegh's grand guignol creations and lurid descriptive talents; Shirley Jackson's claustrophobic horror' The Times.
