Why has motherhood been so disregarded in literature until now? And how did Cusk use her experience of this most important issue to make a literary statement? ‘If at any point in my life I had been able to find out what the future held, I would always have wanted to know whether or not I would have children.

Or that goodness will ultimately be rewarded?), but this novel is more tepid than other works in her oeuvre. These vignettes (about a man who learns he's to be a grandfather, a girl who finishes school with honors, and other regular folks) are meant to fill out the too-thin tale, but most of them end a little too neatly to be satisfying. Ella collects stories of customers who recall celebrating life's milestones at Quentins. When Dubliner Ella Brady's affair with a married financial consultant turns sour-he bilks his clients of their hard-earned money and then hightails it to Spain-she decides to throw herself into something productive: she agrees to help with a documentary about Quentins, a once-modest Dublin restaurant whose increasing success and sophistication over the past 30 years mirrors the changing fortunes of the city itself. Fans of the bestselling Binchy will be grateful that the basic formula is still intact-decent people pulling through hard times-and that some favorite characters from previous novels reappear: Cathy Scarlet from Scarlet Feather, Nora from Evening Class, Ria from Tara RoadĪnd others. ![]() |
