Krátky popis
An Observer Best Debut of the Year A Granta Best of Young British
Novelists ‘Oozes with erotic tension from the start’ Sarah Winman,
author of Still Life ‘Sublime… I loved this book’ Julia Armfield,
author of Our Wives Under the Sea ‘Moody, generous and brilliant’
Jessie Burton, author of The House of Fortune ‘Tense, taut and
exhilarating’ Monica Heisey, author of Really Good, Actually ‘I’ve
completely fallen for the astonishing Mrs S’ Andrea Lawlor, author
of Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl Powerfully sensual and
sublimely stylish, Mrs S is a tale of queer love that smoulders
with the heat of summer. In an elite English boarding school where
the girls kiss the marble statue of the famous dead author who used
to walk the halls, a young Australian woman arrives to take up the
antiquated role of ‘matron’. Within this landscape of immense
privilege, in which the girls can sense the slightest weakness in
those around them, she finds herself unsure of her role, her accent
and her body. That is until she meets Mrs S, the headmaster’s wife,
a woman who is her polar opposite: assured, sophisticated, a
paragon of femininity. Over the course of a long, restless
heatwave, the matron finds herself irresistibly drawn ever closer
into Mrs S’s world and their unspoken desire blooms into an illicit
affair of electric intensity. But, as the summer begins to fade,
both women know that a choice must be made. K Patrick’s portrait of
the butch experience is revelatory, exploring the contested terrain
of our bodies, our desires and the constraints society places
around both. Mrs S marks the arrival of a major new literary
talent, unlike any other. ‘The intense physicality of the novel’s
emotions and its stylish, stripped-back prose make for an arresting
pairing’ Observer ‘Atmospheric and daring’ Guardian ‘There’s
nothing else like it out there’ The Times ‘Bold and beautiful…
Desire crackles through these pages like fire’ Telegraph ‘Entirely
captivating’ New York Times ‘Reading Mrs S is a delicious
experience’ Rupert Thomson, author of Never Anyone But You
