I love I think it's so inventive to have non-fiction told in a different format I think lots of people get quite anxious or nervous at the idea that they might sit down and read non-fiction it might feel textbooky and I feel like this would be such a good gift for, I feel like I’m doing a gift guide now, would be such a good gift for someone that is like I’m not into non-fiction and be like oh just try this one yeah so again liked it.

Rachel CuskIn 2003, Rachel Cusk published A Life's Work, a provocative and often startlingly funny memoir about the cataclysm of motherhood. Widely acclaimed, the book started hundreds of arguments that continue to this day. Now, in her most personal and relevant book to date, Cusk explores divorce's tremendous impact on the lives of women. An unflinching chronicle of Cusk's own recent separation and the upheaval that followed―"a jigsaw dismantled"―it is also a vivid study of divorce's complex place in our society. "Aftermath" originally signified a second harvest, and in this book, unlike any other written on the subject, Cusk discovers opportunity as well as pain. With candor as fearless as it is affecting, Rachel Cusk maps a transformative chapter of her life with an acuity and wit that will help us understand our own.
