Arlington Park by Rachel Cusk

A SUNDAY TIMES TOP 100 NOVEL OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY 'Funny, poignant, savage, tender and appalling.' Helen Dunmore 'One of the most intelligent current interpreters of domestic life.' Catherine Taylor, Independent on Sunday 'Tender, haunting, grimly comic and infinitely disturbing.' Evening Standard Arlington Park is an ordinary English suburb. Over the course of a single day, the novel moves from one household to another, revealing its characters: Juliet, enraged at the victory of men over women in family life; Amanda, warding off thoughts of death with obsessive housework; Solly, about to give birth to her fourth child; Maisie, struggling to accept provincial life; and Christine, the optimist and host of a dinner party where the neighbours come together.
Rachel Cusk is the author of Second Place (Prix Femina étranger), the Outline trilogy, the memoirs A Life's Work and Aftermath, and several other works of fiction and nonfiction, including her most recent novel Parade (Goldsmiths Prize, 2024). She is a Guggenheim Fellow, the recipient of the 2024 Malaparte Prize, and has been awarded the title of Chevalier de l'ordre des arts et des lettres. She lives in Paris.
