''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.
