Mrs. March
by
by
A strange one, Mrs. March, is an upper crust housewife who is slowly unraveling mentally, but no one seems to notice or care. If no one cares for her she is equally unmoved by them. She goes about her vapid existence, ignoring her husband and son in equal shares.
We get a glimpse into her cold and cruel upbringing by a grotesquely distant and exacting mother and an absent father. The only person Mrs. March got any attention from as a little girl was their maid, Alma, who the child treated with contempt.
I have read other stories with this theme, so this one didn't move me that much and all the characters are so revolting that I came away with a wish that I hadn't delved into Mrs. March's world.

Thanks Beverly for the helpful review. I was intrigued by the premise and that it's been made into a film, but couldn't get into it. However, your thoughts confirm for me that it's not worth persevering with!

You made the right choice Antigony. I didn't care for this that much.
