Description
Multi-award-winning author Rachel Cusks honest memoir that captures the life-changing wonders of motherhood.
Selected by The New York Times as one of the 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years
Funny and smart and refreshingly akin to a war diarysort of Apocalypse Baby Now . . . A Lifes Work is wholly original and unabashedly true. The New York Times Book Review
A Lifes Work: On Becoming a Mother is Rachel Cusks funny, moving, brutally honest account of her early experiences of motherhood. When it was published it 2001, it divided critics and readers. One famous columnist wrote a piece demanding that Cusks children be taken into care, saying she was unfit to look after them, and Oprah Winfrey invited her on the show to defend herself.
An education in babies, books, breast-feeding, toddler groups, broken nights, bad advice and never being alone, it is a landmark work, which has provoked acclaim and outrage in equal measure.
