Description
Winner of the Whitbread First Novel Award
Saving Agnes introduces us to Agnes Day - sub-editor, suburbanite, and failure extraordinaire - who has discovered disconcerting gaps in her general understanding of the world. Terminally middle-class and incurably romantic, Agnes finds herself chronically confused by the most basic interactions.
Life and love go on without her, but with a little facade, she can pass herself off as a success. Beneath the fiction, however, the burden of truth becomes harder to bear.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Saving Agnes by Rachel Cusk delves into the life of a young woman navigating the contradictions of modern womanhood. The novel is often praised for its insightful characterisation and clever use of humour to explore themes of identity and self-discovery. While some readers appreciate Cusk's elegant prose and relatable protagonist, others find the narrative's introspective style occasionally challenging to engage with fully.
