Mrs Jekyll by Emma Glass

Mrs Jekyll by Emma Glass

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.

'An immensely talented young writer.. her fearlessness renews one's faith in the power of literature.' George Saunders, winner of 2017 Man Booker Prize

'Mrs Jekyll is a heartbreaking and seductive novel - a swirling journey into grief's abandon that is both dark and beautifully wrought.' Sophie Mackintosh, author of The Water Cure

'Sensual, chilling, powerfully immersive, Emma Glass writes with a truly original voice.' Esther Freud, author of Hideous Kinky

'Emma Glass is a devastatingly talented writer ... Every page transmits a dark, delicious power. I insist you drink it all in, like the perfect potion it is.' Emma Jane Unsworth, author of Animals

'Incisive and mercurial ... a searing, feminist account of how it feels to be at war with yourself, and the desire to live and die in a world that can no longer contain you.' Jessica Andrews, author of Milk Teeth
