Blurb

I Am Mary Dunne is a novel by Northern Irish-Canadian writer Brian Moore about one day in the life of a beautiful and well-to-do 31-year-old Canadian woman living in New York City with her third husband, a successful playwright. Triggered by seemingly unimportant occurrences, the protagonist / first person narrator remembers her past in a series of flashbacks, which reveal her insecurities, her bad conscience concerning her first two husbands, and her fear that she is on the brink of insanity.
I Am Mary Dunne has been described as "perhaps [Brian Moore's] best book".
In its original draft, I Am Mary Dunne was called A Woman of No Identity.
