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? Why is she so reluctant
to talk about her past?
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.
