A brilliant, feminist retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s evergreen classic, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, in which a woman gives in to the murderous and sensual force that awakens within her as she battles breast cancer.

Rosy Winter is dying.  Her husband, Charlie—sweet but out of his depth—tries to be supportive. Her sister-in-law, Sally, is too distracted by her own problems to help. Her students, once a source of delight, are now a daily reminder of Rosy's mortality. So, Rosy succumbs to anguish, allowing a force—murderous, sensual, feverish—to awaken and stir within her. An embodiment of her rage, a twisted joie de vivre, ripping recompense from the world around her.  

A powerful feminist retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's Gothic classic, Mrs. Jekyll is a brilliant, evocative, and lyrical story of one woman's refusal to yield her passion for life, even as her body betrays her.
