In the winter of 2009, Rachel Cusk's marriage of ten years came to
an end. In the months that followed, life as she had known it came
apart, "like a jigsaw dismantled into a heap of broken-edged
pieces". Aftermath chronicles this perilous journey as the author
redefines herself as a single woman and creates a new version of
family life for her daughters. She discovers previously unknown
strengths and freedoms but also finds herself suddenly vulnerable
to outsiders, unwelcome advice, social displacement and the absence
of a clear authority. The pressure to reconstruct a 'normal' life
for her daughters competes with the sense that nothing feels normal
at all. Aftermathis a masterly work in which the author, at her
most candid and rigorous, charts the largely unwritten journey back
to order from the chaos that is left when a family breaks apart.
