Cusk Rachel - The Country Life A Novel - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: A New York Times Notable Book of the Year Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award The Country Life Rachel Cusk's third novel is a rich and subtle story about embarrassment awkwardness and being alone; about families or the lack of them; and about love in some peculiar guises. A brilliant oxymoron a serious farce Cusk's ability to keep us interested in innumerable human collisions is uncanny. The New Yorker Stella Benson sets off for Hilltop a tiny Sussex village housing a family that is somewhat larger - than - life. Her hopes for the Maddens may be high but her station among them as au pair to their irascible son Martin is undeniably low. What could possibly have driven her to leave her home job and life in London for such rural ignominy? Why has she severed all contact with her parents? And why is she so reluctant to talk about her past?
