Five lives shaped by family ties
Rachel Cusk’s novel brings together five lives marked by family bonds that are as difficult to escape as they are to sustain. Its central figures confront altered identities and uncertain connections: a pregnant young mother adjusting to a changed life, a new father searching for his former self, a daughter pursuing a lost sense of childhood, and a mother struggling with her child’s growing distance. Across these intertwined pressures, the book examines love, separation, and the desire to be understood within a family.

"A small masterwork, a bright gem that illuminates the extent of Rachel Cusk's considerable abilities." -- Salon
"So sharply written I forgot where I was as I was reading it . . . touches greatness in its psychological incisiveness . . . . Cusk has brought her writing to a new level." --New York Times Book Review
Demonstrating a rare gift for illuminating "the bustling concourses of life" without sacrificing emotional depth and complexity, this rare and stunning novel confirms Rachel Cusk's place among our most incisive and masterful writers.
The Lucky Ones is a profound evocation of family and the magnetic bonds that can attract or repel. The five people whose lives converge here are also haunted by family: the longing for love, the struggle to connect. Here, a young pregnant mother wrestles with an utterly changed life; a new father sifts for a sign of the man he used to be; a daughter searches for a lost childhood; and a mother reaches out in bewilderment to a child who is growing away from her.
