Description

With her celebrated talent as a writer, Whitbread Award winner Rachel Cusk illuminates a brooding story of family drama with sparkling humour and surprise. The Hanburys of Egypt Hill are the last word in bohemian living - or so they like to think. To Michael, arriving at his college roommate's house for a birthday party, they represent relief from the strictures of conformity. But when he's invited to visit the Hanburys some years later, Michael's illusions about their world quickly unravel. In the Fold is a story of modern manners and past offences, of public morality and private property, and of how we can be undone by a simple yearning to belong.
