Rachel Cusk's second novel is a ruthless, surprising story of work, gender, and control.
Ralph Loman is working in an unsatisfying job at a free London newspaper when Francine Snaith, a temporary secretary for a corporate finance firm, unexpectedly crosses his path at a party. Her beauty ignites a blaze of excitement in his troubled heart. But Francine is ravenous for attention, driven by a thirst for conquest, and when Ralph tries politely to extricate himself, he finds he is bound by chains of consequence from which it seems there is no escape. In The Temporary, Rachel Cusk paints a merciless portrait of the cut and thrust of modern romance, work, and life.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Picador USAISBN-13:9781250824004ISBN-10:1250824001UPC:9781250824004Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:LiterarySize:8.20 x 5.30 x 0.80 inchesWeight:0.35Product ID:SCYVFS48B9
