ONLINE with il libro
Mrs March is an esteemed lady, or at least she thinks so.
Her husband George respects her, or at least she thinks so…
…Until one day, when a lady assumes that the character in George’s newest hit novel is based on Mrs March.
Her life is shattered and she is hurled into a harrowing journey that builds to psychosis…
Everyone is asked to read the book till the end of the first subchapter of chapter XXXVI (“Her pupils dilated in the mirror. “It’s me you want, George March,” she whispered.” – page 253). Together we will try to find out not only what will happen in the next pages but we will also discuss about the social and psychological background of the protagonist, e.g. What does it mean to be the wife of a famous person?
If you wish to participate, please let us know per email. Thank you!
