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?\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Country Life A Novel\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Cusk Rachel\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Picador\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781250828156\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 368 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 9\/7\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Modern \u0026amp; Contemporary Fiction","brand":"Cusk Rachel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49614919172401,"sku":"IN-G-9781250828156","price":15.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781250828156.jpg?v=1724618087","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781250828156-the-country-life-a-novel","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
