Mrs S by K. Patrick ✨ 30
I want to give this book its flowers because it got me out of a slump and that is not easy to do!
Mrs S follows a young woman who works as the Matron in an all girls boarding school. As a queer woman she often feels out of place in this institution that values tradition and religion, but she soon falls for Mrs S, the headmaster’s wife who is seemingly her opposite.
The yearning in this book would put you into a coma, my god. The tension that K Patrick builds is really masterful and enveloping. The writing is stunning and I really liked the subversion of this growing trope of identity being muddled when entering an affair with a married person. This book says a lot about belonging and being lost and craving acceptance.
I did feel like this book could have been a lot shorter…
