Description
When first published in 2001, it divided female critics and readers. One famous columnist wrote a piece demanding that Cusk's children were taken into care, declaring she was unfit to look after them.
Oprah Winfrey invited her on the show to defend herself and the book as protests grew about its honest, gritty account of the misery of those early months. It is a seminal, stand-out book on the complications of being an ambivalent mum in an age of white-washed, Annabel Karmel'd new families.

A Life's Work by Rachel Cusk is widely praised for its raw and honest exploration of motherhood. Reviewers appreciate Cusk's candid and sometimes unflinching portrayal of the challenges and emotional upheavals faced by new mothers. While some find the narrative an insightful reflection on the complexities of motherhood, others note its provocative and deeply personal nature.
