The Bradshaw Variations by Rachel Cusk explores the intricacies of marriage in its middle years. Thomas Bradshaw and Tonie Swann find themselves caught in the classic scenario: a comfortable house, a happy-enough daughter, and an unsettling feeling that life might be unfolding elsewhere.
The dynamics shift when Tonie accepts a significant promotion at work, prompting Thomas to embrace the role of a stay-at-home dad. As Thomas navigates the daily silence of an empty house, Tonie discovers previously unimaginable possibilities coming to life.
Meanwhile, at the head of the family, the ageing Bradshaw parents maintain their long-standing pattern of bickering and subtle undermining, adding another layer to the familyβs evolving landscape.
