Despojos

In 2009, Rachel Cusk's marriage came to an end and her world was fractured: "The life we had built together fell apart, like a puzzle turned into a pile of pieces with cut edges." Spoils is the story of that breakup, in which a writer and mother of two girls observes her own reactions to the destruction of life as she had understood it until then. A woman who, while creating a new individuality for herself and a new family model for her daughters - in a society that places conjugal love as a sacred and unbreakable center of a family - discovers an unexpected vulnerability, but also unknown liberties and strengths .
