Quote: “Some people write simply because they don’t know how to live in the moment and have to reconstruct it and live in it afterwards.”

Review: The one and only Rachel Cusk has done it again. For those who know me, you know Cusk is one of my all-time favorite authors. I will drop anything to pick up a Cusk book, and am notorious for finishing her books at warp speed, as well as reading them again, and again, and again. This beautiful and complex story, set in a coastal landscape, is a beautiful interrogation of motherhood, art, and love. I won’t say too much, because I want you to go read it for yourself, as soon as possible.
