Metamorphosis by Isabella MacLeod

A woman struggles with a mysterious disease, a difficult marriage, and clandestine affairs in Metamorphosis by Isabella MacLeod, an original work that veers into supernatural fiction, erotica, and psychological thriller. The novel chronicles the life of Miranda, who is in a desperate search for someone who can provide a cure for the painful, debilitating, and often grotesque symptoms that threaten to dismantle her life as a nurse, wife, and mother. The story is compelling in its originality and creativity, but it is hampered by grammatical issues and a first-person narrator who is somewhat hard to follow given the abrupt transitions in her actions and perspective. Overall, Metamorphosis is a gripping deep dive into the mind of a woman obsessively seeking answers to her condition before it shatters everything she holds dear, for a story that is at once relatable and larger than life.
