SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZEA work of stunning beauty, deep insight and great originality. Monica Ali, New York TimesTremendous from its opening sentence. Tessa Hadley, GuardianA work of cutglass brilliance. Financial TimesIn the wake of her familys collapse, a writer and her two young sons move to London. The upheaval is the catalyst for a number of transitions personal, moral, artistic, and practical as she endeavours to construct a new reality for herself and her children. In the city, she is made to confront aspects of living that she has, until now, avoided, and to consider questions of vulnerability and power, death and renewal, in what becomes her struggle to reattach herself to, and believe in, life.Filtered through the impersonal gaze of its keenly intelligent protagonist, Transit sees Rachel Cusk delve deeper into the themes first raised in her critically acclaimed novel Outline, and offers up a penetrating and moving reflection on childhood and fate, the value of suffering, the moral problems of personal responsibility and the mystery of change.
