About the Book
"Originally published in 1993 by Macmillan, Great Britain"--Title page verso.Book Synopsis
A new paperback edition of Rachel Cusk's debut novel, winner of the Whitbread First Novel Award.
In Saving Agnes, Agnes Day--subeditor, suburbanite, failure extraordinaire--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.Review Quotes
"Smart, subtle, stylish, and witty." --The Boston Herald Sunday
"A novel so much more than just clever and sharp that it might be said to be wise . . . Cusk has heart and depth in abundance, and Saving Agnes showcases both." --Abby Frucht, The Village Voice "Quirky but appealing characters and wry social commentary. . . Exquisite and sometimes diabolical." --Publishers WeeklyAbout the Author
