The much-praised new novel from award-winning author Rachel Cusk, who was one of Granta’s Best of British writers.In this profound study of human relationships, five overlapping narratives of love and detachment merge to form a powerful evocation of family identity.A young pregnant woman''s misfortune; a new father''s disaffection; a daughter''s search for lost childhood; a mother''s antagonism; a wife''s secret suffering – through it all runs the story of Victor Porter, a campaigning lawyer, and his journalist wife Serena, in whose relationship the conflict between the public and the personal, between love and morality, is played out.Rachel Cusk writes of life''s transformations; of what separates us from those we love and what binds us to those we no longer understand. The Lucky Ones is a novel about creating and sustaining life. It illuminates with startling precision the texture and complexity of emotional existence within ''the bustling concourses of life.''

WINNER OF THE SOMERSET MAUGHAM AWARD''Cusk combines humour and striking emotional honesty.'' Financial Times''Cusk shows a brilliant, and often hilarious funny, aptitude for identifying surreal moments in social interaction.'' Evening Standard''Cusk is a highly interesting, original writer and more unusually she is a joy to read.'' The TimesStella 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? Why is she so reluctant to talk about her past?The Country Life 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 Sunday Times (London) Top 100 Novel of the Twenty-First Century“No one has written better about what, I suppose, is generally known as female experience . . . All of it is familiar from life but not (thus far) from literature. Everything about Arlington Park is original and fearless.” —Francine Prose, BookforumSet over the course of one rainy day in an ordinary English suburb, Arlington Park is a viciously funny portrait of a group of young mothers, each bound to their families, each straining for some kind of independence: Juliet, enraged at the victory of men over women in family life; Amanda, warding off thoughts of death with obsessive housework; Solly, about to give birth to her fourth child; Maisie, struggling to accept provincial life; and Christine, the optimist and host of a dinner party where the neighbors come together.Penetrating and empathetic, Rachel Cusk''s Arlington Park is “a domestic adventure about the perils of modern privilege that is as smartly satirical as it is warmly wise” (Elle).

Spare and lucid, it follows a novelist teaching a course in creative writing over an oppressively hot summer in Athens. She leads her students in storytelling exercises. She meets other visiting writers for dinner. She goes swimming in the Ionian Sea with her neighbor from the plane. The people she encounters speak volubly about themselves: their fantasies, anxieties, pet theories, regrets, and longings. And through these disclosures, a portrait of the narrator is drawn by contrast, a portrait of a woman learning to face a great loss.

Autobiografická vypravěčka Faye se ve druhém díle románové trilogie Obrys ocitá v Londýně, kde rekonstruuje vybydlený byt, vyjednává se záštiplnými sousedy, učí tvůrčí psaní a přitom tak jako v prvním díle mluví s rozličnými postavami. Kadeřník jí líčí soužití s dospívajícím synovcem, zedník vypráví o skleněném domě, který si postavil doma v Polsku, student o výchově perských chrtů. Leccos vychází najevo i o Faye, byť k nám informace o ní pronikají spíše mezerami mezi cizími příběhy. Inovativní a formálně vybroušený způsob vyprávění, který britsko-kanadská spisovatelka Rachel Cusk v trilogii Obrys vytvořila, neztrácí ani v druhém díle nazvaném Tranzit na působivosti.

In the wake of her family's collapse, a writer and her two young sons move to London. The upheaval is the catalyst for a number of transitions­ - personal, moral, artistic, and practical - as she endeavours to construct a new reality for herself and her children. In the city, she is made to confront aspects of living that she has, until now, avoided, and to consider questions of vulnerability and power, death and renewal, in what becomes her struggle to reattach herself to, and believe in, life.Filtered through the impersonal gaze of its keenly intelligent protagonist, Transit sees Rachel Cusk delve deeper into the themes first raised in her critically acclaimed novel Outline, and offers up a penetrating and moving reflection on childhood and fate, the value of suffering, the moral problems of personal responsibility and the mystery of change.

The city is a rich tapestry, home to native Coventrians and newcomers of every nationality and ethnicity. But behind the modernity, Coventry''s storied past lives on in its architecture and artworks, its visionary centre and outlying council estates.This book reveals some of its hard-to-find origins as a city with a major medieval influence, and the relics of its industrial boom as a centre for making cloth and clocks, cars and bikes. But it was manufacturing munitions that made it a target for the German Luftwaffe in WWII, flattening its medieval heart, and prompting the distinctive look and feel of its centre and surrounds today.It details everything from a quirky homage to 11th-century Lady Godiva, to the remnants of the walled city of the English Civil War that spawned the phrase ‘sent to Coventry’. From the remnants of the ruined cathedral to the boho Fargo village, from the origins of the influential Two-Tone music style born here, to the impact of UK City of Culture 2021 status, it’s all uncovered inside.This unusual guidebook invites the inquisitive to head off the beaten track and explore many of the city’s lesser-known places.

A warm and poignant narrative about finding one’s self amidst the grind of restaurant life, the cross-generational immigrant experience, and a daughter’s attempts to connect with parents who have always been just out of reach. **An International Bestseller**When she was three years old, Rachel Phan met her replacement. Instead of a new sibling, her parents’ time and attention were suddenly devoted entirely to their new family restaurant. For her parents—whose own families fled China during the Japanese occupation during the Second Sino-Japanese War and then survived bombs and starvation during the war in Vietnam—it was a dream come true. For Rachel, it was something quite different. Overnight, she became a restaurant kid, living on the periphery of her own family and trying her best to stay out of the way. While Rachel grew up, the restaurant was there—the most stalwart and suffocating member of her family. For decades, it’s been both their crowning achievement and the origin of so much of their pain and suffering: screaming matches complete with smashed dishes , bodies worn down by ever-spreading arthritis, and tenuous relationships where they love one another deeply without ever really knowing each other.
