The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell (Knopf, 2022). “That’s why you should always read the last page first.” This was my mom’s take when I told her that Maggie O’Farrell’s The Marriage Portrait had left me so unsettled I had trouble getting to sleep after finishing it. Without fully subscribing to that school of thought, I admit that there are times when I can see its appeal. I’ll try to discuss this book without spoilers, but the ending colored my feelings so much that it’s going to be hard.
