« Les dernières pages sont un véritable choc ! À tel point que le lecteur est immédiatement tenté de revenir au début pour comprendre comment l'auteure a réussi si brillamment ce qu'elle a entrepris avec cet exceptionnel premier roman ! » - The New York Times Mrs March vit oisive dans un appartement huppé de New York. Alors que George, son mari, atteint la consécration littéraire avec son dernier roman, l'existence de Mrs March se met à vaciller. Aurait-elle, comme on le dit, servi de modèle à l'un des personnages peu reluisant du livre de son mari ? Impossible, connaissant George. Mais le connaît-elle vraiment ? N'aurait-elle pas été aveuglée, toutes ces années, par son existence dorée ? Mrs March se met alors à enquêter sur la vie intime de l'homme qui partage sa vie. Et elle découvre que celui-ci se passionne pour l'étrange disparition d'une jeune femme. Simple travail de romancier ? Peu à peu, le doute s'installe, et ses soupçons la mènent bien au-delà de ce qu'elle pensait. Au-delà même de la raison ?

Avec ce portrait d'une femme dont le monde s'effondre, Virginia Feito nous offre un récit à la tension extrême. Un coup de maître, pour un premier roman, qui la place d'emblée en digne héritière de Patricia Highsmith. Les droits d'adaptation du livre ont été achetés par l'actrice Elisabeth Moss.

Cette satire féroce des États-Unis en proie à la folie, incroyablement drôle, raconte l'histoire d'un grand navire, la Gloire, et de son capitaine bruyant et grotesque qui le conduit au bord du désastre. La Gloire était habilement commandé depuis des années, mais lorsque son capitaine bien-aimé décide de prendre sa retraite, un nouveau chef se présente. Portant une plume jaune dans les cheveux, il est vulgaire, maladroit et inexplicablement confiant. N'ayant aucune connaissance de la navigation ou du droit maritime - ni même, comme il l'a fait remarquer à plusieurs reprises, un goût particulier pour les bateaux, il jure solennellement de prendre les choses en mains. Il commencer par licencier l'équipage et nomme ses amis aux postes importants.
Alors qu'il dirige le navire, il lui arrive parfois de tourner soudainement à gauche et à droite, pour surprendre les passagers et faire bouger les choses. Entouré de son groupe de petits voleurs et d'hommes de confiance, il fascine les passagers, écrivant ses opinions sur le tableau blanc de la cafétéria, se vantant de son anatomie exceptionnelle, dévorant des cheeseburgers et jetant par-dessus bord quiconque lui déplaît. Jusqu'au jour où apparaît à l'horizon un célèbre pirate, longtemps redouté par les passagers de la Gloire mais vénéré par le Capitaine pour son apparence incroyablement virile lorsqu'il monte torse-nu à cheval...
