"The stunning second novel of a trilogy that began with Outline, one of The New York
Times Book Review's ten best books of 2015. In the wake of family collapse, a writer
and her two young sons move to London. The process of upheaval is the catalyst for
a number of transitions--personal, moral, artistic, practical--as she endeavors to
construct a new reality for herself and her children. In the city she is made to confront
aspects of living she has, until now, avoided, and to consider questions of vulnerability
and power, death and renewal, in what becomes her struggle to reattach herself to,
and believe in, life. Filtered through the impersonal gaze of its keenly intelligent
protagonist, Transit sees Rachel Cusk delve deeper into the themes first raised in
her critically acclaimed Outline, and offers up a penetrating and moving reflection
on childhood and fate, the value of suffering, the moral problems of personal responsibility,
and the mystery of change. In this precise, short, and yet epic cycle of novels, Cusk
manages to describe the most elemental experiences, the liminal qualities of life,
through a narrative near-silence that draws language toward it. She captures with
unsettling restraint and honesty the longing to both inhabit and flee one's life and
the wrenching ambivalence animating our desire to feel real"
