In the Fold
In the Fold | Rachel Cusk
5 posts | 5 read
Michael first met the Hanburys of Egypt Hill when he was a young student. He was intrigued and delighted by their bohemian lifestyle and bravado. Twelve years later, married with a young son, Michael is invited back to the house and jumps at the chance of escaping his increasingly turbulent domestic situation. But his illusions about the family are shattered as the rotten core of the Hanbury myth is gradually revealed. Intimate in its insight, epic in its emotional scope, In the Fold is a brilliant, clever, often painful story of how we can become undone by our yearning to belong.

Not for me. I persevered because Rachel Cusk's insight into human nature and situations is wonderful but, honestly, I just didn't want to spend another minute with these horrible people and their miserable affluenza.

I devoured the first half, fascinated by the sense of family and friendship. But the second half felt unpleasant... I've skipped over some parts as it was just not nice revelations and accusations between characters. Hmm.

I've read a couple by her. This free library one appealed due to the cover!

Very well-written and absorbing read if a bit pretentious at times.

Nafee @arnamc Hey! Would you like to suggest me some books that you have read and you think that was mind blowing? 7y
