Overview

Rachel Cusk's second novel is a ruthless, surprising story of work, gender, and control.

Ralph Loman works in an unsatisfying job, for a free London newspaper, when Francine Snaith, a temporary secretary for a corporate finance firm, unexpectedly crosses his path at a party. Her beauty ignites a blaze of excitement in his troubled heart.

But Francine is ravenous for attention, driven by a thirst for conquest, and when Ralph tries politely to extricate himself, he finds he is bound by chains of consequence from which it seems there is no escape.

The Temporary paints a merciless portrait of the cut and thrust of modern romance, work and life.
