Synopsis
Atmospheric and lusciously told, Mrs Jekyll reframes Stevenson's classic story of human duality in the present day, as one woman contends with a terminal diagnosis - and unearths the effervescence of a life suppressed. Schoolteacher Rosy Winter is dying. But, beyond the homeopathic remedies, the dinner party obligations, the snatched whispers on wards and in staffrooms, a force - murderous, feminine, feverish - is stirring within her. A story of power and powerlessness, light and dark, life and death, Mrs Jekyll embraces the paradoxes and paroxysms of modern womanhood, in a story every bit as gripping as the original. Mrs Jekyll, the third novel from Emma Glass, reframes Stevenson's classic story of human duality in the present day, as one woman contends with a terminal diagnosis - and unearths the effervescence of a life suppressed.
