Life and love go on without her, but with a little façade she can pass herself off as a success. Beneath the fiction, however, the burden of truth becomes harder to bear.\n\nBook Description\n\nA new paperback edition of Rachel Cusk's debut novel, winner of the Whitbread First Novel Award.\n\nFrom the Back Cover\n\nAgnes Day - sub-editor, suburbanite, failure extraordinaire - has discovered disconcerting gaps in her general understanding of the world.
