Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The much-praised new novel from award-winning author Rachel Cusk, who was one of Granta's Best of British writers.In this profound study of human relationships, five overlapping narratives of love and detachment merge to form a powerful evocation of family identity.A young pregnant woman's misfortune; a new father's disaffection; a daughter's search for lost childhood; a mother's antagonism; a wife's secret suffering - through it all runs the story of Victor Porter, a campaigning lawyer, and his journalist wife Serena, in whose relationship the conflict between the public and the personal, between love and morality, is played out.Rachel Cusk writes of life's transformations; of what separates us from those we love and what binds us to those we no longer understand. The Lucky Ones is a novel about creating and sustaining life. It illuminates with startling precision the texture and complexity of emotional existence within 'the bustling concourses of life.'
