Publisher's Note

The Lucky Ones is a novel about creating and sustaining life during times of great transformation. The five people whose lives converge here are also haunted by family -- the longing for love, the struggle to connect. 

A young pregnant mother wrestles with utterly changed circumstances; a new father searches for a sign of the man he used to be; a daughter yearns for a lost childhood; and a mother reaches out in bewilderment to a child she can't fully understand. Accidental connections and overlapping relationships build a complex family portrait: all are linked by the elemental impact of children on adult lives.

This profound evocation of family and its magnetic bonds reveals the mysterious forces that separate us from those we love and bind us to what we no longer understand.

The Lucky Ones will stop you cold with its startling precision and power. Demonstrating a rare gift for illuminating "the bustling concourses of life" without sacrificing emotional depth or complexity, this rare and stunning novel confirms Rachel Cusk's place among our most incisive writers.



Industry reviews
"[A]n emotional wallop all the more devastating for being rendered in Cusk's quiet, understated prose....Absolutely brilliant, and deeply moving."
Kirkus  (12/15/2003)

"Such is her gift for capturing women's psychology and their sense of place in the world that the novel achieves...a fresh and compassionate portrait of a generations' feelings about motherhood."
New Yorker  (03/15/2004)

"Cusk's characters are sharply aware of the obscure dynamics of interacting with one another, observant of the subtle dimensions of family relationships....It may sound as if this book makes for heavy reading, and while in places there is much darkness, there is also much humor here...THE LUCKY ONES is a small masterwork, a bright gem that illuminates the extent of Rachel Cusk's considerable abilities."
Salon - Scott Lamb (04/15/2004)
