The process of this upheaval is the catalyst for a number of transitions-personal, moral, artistic, and 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 that 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFiltered through the impersonal gaze of its keenly intelligent protagonist, \u003ci\u003eTransit\u003c\/i\u003e sees Rachel Cusk delve deeper into the themes first raised in her critically acclaimed novel \u003ci\u003eOutline\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this second book of a precise, short, yet epic cycle, Cusk describes the most elemental experiences, the liminal qualities of life. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50116224385328,"sku":"BDlo75","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/lo75-Square-cover.jpg?v=1777569502","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-lo75","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
