'A WORK OF STUNNING BEAUTY, DEEP INSIGHT AND GREAT ORIGINALITY.'
Monica Ali, _New York Times_
'TREMENDOUS FROM ITS OPENING SENTENCE.' Tessa Hadley, _Guardian_
'A WORK OF CUT-GLASS BRILLIANCE.' _Financial Times_
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.
'[_TRANSIT_] CONFIRMS THAT ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING PROJECTS IN
CONTEMPORARY FICTION IS UNFOLDING IN RACHEL CUSK'S TRILOGY.' ADAM
