The Country Life

De (autor): Rachel Cusk

review Goodreads
In this rich and subtle novel, Stella Benson answers a classified ad for an au pair and arrives in a tiny Sussex village that's home to an unusual family.

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?
