The process of this upheaval is the catalyst for a number of transitionspersonal  moral  artistic  and practicalas 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.  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 novel 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.

She captures with unsettling restraint and honesty the longing to both inhabit and flee ones life  and the wrenching ambivalence animating our desire to feel real.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986168279093,"sku":"ByrdShop_0374278628","price":27.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780374278625.jpg?v=1770890225","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/transit-a-novel-outline-trilogy-2","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
