rachel cusk's the country life
now THAT'S what i'm talkin' about! a fun, dark, page-turner sort of a book! it's about this young woman, stella, who abruptly leaves her life and becomes an au pair to a disabled teenager in the countryside. gradually information about her past comes out as she deals w/ living w/ an eccentric bunch of wealthy brits and their own past conflicts. cusk is a great writer--the book jsut flies by, in the good way, where all of a sudden you look down and realize you've read 100 pages. a lovely book--i'll definitely be looking for more by her. the ending made me smile.
