Aftermath: On Marriage and Separation - Paperback
by Rachel Cusk (Author)
"Beautiful . . . Compelling . . . Cusk [is] an extraordinary writer of the female experience." --Financial Times
In the winter of 2009, Rachel Cusk's marriage of ten years came to an end. Candid and revelatory, Aftermath chronicles the perilous journey as the author redefines herself and creates a new version of family life for her daughters. She discovers previously unknown strengths and freedoms but also finds herself suddenly vulnerable to outsiders, unwelcome advice, social displacement, and the absence of a clear authority. The pressure to reconstruct a "normal" life for her daughters competes with the sense that nothing feels normal at all. Aftermath is a classic: a masterly work in which the author, at her most ruthless and rigorous, charts the largely unwritten journey back to order from the chaos that is left when a family breaks apart.Author Biography
