When Everything You Built Comes Crashing Down
What does it feel like when your life shatters? Not the slow erosion of dissatisfaction, but the sudden, violent collapse of everything you thought was permanent. One day you're making dinner for four, planning summer holidays, arguing about whose turn it is to do the school run. The next, you're standing in an empty house wondering who you are without the scaffolding of "we." This is the territory Rachel Cusk maps in "Aftermath"-not with comforting platitudes or redemptive arcs, but with the unflinching precision of someone documenting a disaster from the inside. The book caused a sensation when published, not because divorce is rare, but because Cusk refused to soften its edges. She wrote about the rage, the pettiness, the ways we weaponize our principles against each other. Zadie Smith called it unforgettable. Critics called it brave and brutal in equal measure. What makes it essential reading isn't just its honesty about marriage's end, but what it reveals about the stories we tell ourselves about partnership, gender, and identity-stories that feel progressive until they trap us in new versions of old cages.
