Very good condition. Tight spine and binding; clean, unmarked pages. Acclaimed English novelist Rachel Cusk's A Life's Work: On Becoming a Mother uniquely combines a literary sensibility with searing emotional honesty in her quest to reclaim her former self after giving birth. In the words of novelist Helen Dunmore, it is "a deeply fascinating read, a nakedly honest, witty, and eloquent exploration of the world of mother and child, where each of us began."
