About this ebook
A fearless and transformative exploration of divorce's impact on women's lives
In 2003, Rachel Cusk published A Life's Work, a provocative and often startlingly funny memoir about the cataclysm of motherhood. Now, in her most personal and relevant book to date, Cusk explores divorce's tremendous impact on the lives of women.
Aftermath is an unflinching chronicle of Cusk's own recent separation and the upheaval that followed—"a jigsaw dismantled". With candor as fearless as it is affecting, Cusk maps a transformative chapter of her life with acuity and wit. Unlike any other book written on the subject, Aftermath discovers opportunity as well as pain in the experience of divorce.
Through vivid, personal narratives and insightful essays, this memoir offers a thought-provoking examination of divorce's complex place in our society. Cusk's autobiographical writing will resonate with anyone who has gone through a marriage separation or is interested in family life and women's experiences. This timely and important book from the acclaimed British author will help readers understand their own journeys of love, loss, and resilience.
