Life's Work

3.92 (3,547 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Rachel Cusk

'I laughed out loud, often, in painful recognition.' Esther Freud

'Cusk has created a work of beauty and wisdom.' New Statesman

'Cusk is not afraid to address frankly the grief for freedom lost, the despair, pain, boredom and guilt - all in the context of the mother's unspeakable love for the baby.' Stephanie Merritt, Observer

A Life's Work is Rachel Cusk's funny, moving, brutally honest account of her early experiences of motherhood. An education in babies, books, breast-feeding, toddler groups, broken nights, bad advice and never being alone, it is a landmark work, which has provoked acclaim and outrage in equal measure.
