Rachel Cusk

Una donna in viaggio ascolta un estraneo seduto di fianco a lei mentre parla del suo lavoro, della famiglia e dell'angosciosa notte precedente, trascorsa a seppellire il cane. Faye, scrittrice e io narrante, sta raggiungendo il continente europeo per partecipare a un convegno.

Für die Schriftstellerin Faye ändert sich gerade vieles: Nach einer kräftezehrenden Scheidung ist sie mit ihren beiden Söhnen zurück nach London gezogen und hat bei der Suche nach einer Wohnung einem Gefühl nachgegeben, das augenblicklich verschwand.

Eine Schriftstellerin reist im Hochsommer nach Athen, um dort einen Schreibkurs zu geben. Während ihre eigenen Verhältnisse vorerst im Dunkeln bleiben, wird sie zur Zuhörerin einer Reihe von Lebensgeschichten.

Faye ist unterwegs, um ihren neuen Roman vorzustellen. Sie hofft auf öffentliche Anerkennung und Abstand zu einer privaten Katastrophe.

Una scrittrice si trasferisce a Londra in seguito alla fine del suo matrimonio e dopo lunghe ricerche decide di acquistare un appartamento totalmente da ristrutturare.

In un'estate greca calda e bruciante, una scrittrice inglese arriva ad Atene per tenere un seminario.
