Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 96
A woman invites a famous artist to use her guesthouse in the remote coastal landscape where she lives with her family. Powerfully drawn to his paintings, she believes his vision might penetrate the mystery at the center of her life. But as a long, dry summer sets in, his provocative presence itself becomes an enigma - and disrupts the calm of her secluded household. Second Place, Rachel Cusk’s electrifying new novel, is a study of female fate and male privilege, the geometries of human relationships, and the moral questions that animate our lives.

Excrutiating performance
Revisado: 09-07-21
I made the mistake of downloading this without listening to a sample as I usually do. Had I done that, I never would have subjected myself to even 30 minutes of this god-awful performance. The reader sounds like she's trying out for a high school play, being "dramatic" and "emphatic." Maybe she was trying to convey something about the character, but I didn't get far enough to judge.

On their farm in Denby, Iowa, Rosanna and Walter Langdon abide by time-honored values that they pass on to their five wildly different children: from Frank, the handsome, willful first born, and Joe, whose love of animals and the land sustains him, to Claire, who earns a special place in her father’s heart.

Sing-songy reading
Revisado: 02-09-16
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I can't recommend it because I couldn't bear the reader's style after 15 minutes.
What could Jane Smiley have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Use a better reader.
What didn’t you like about Lorelei King’s performance?
She reads it like a fairy tale: sing-songy, as if for children. There's a touch of irony in every phrasing and her voice did not settle into a normal tone even once. It was exasperating. And I see she's the reader for the whole trilogy! What a shame.
Any additional comments?
I made the error of not listening to a sample first or I would never have wasted a credit on this.
