A darkly funny and moving insight into modern relationships, providing a glimpse behind the closed doors of suburbia.

Arlington Park is an ordinary English suburb. Over the course of a single day, the novel moves from one household to another, revealing its characters: Juliet, enraged at the victory of men over women in family life; Amanda, warding off thoughts of death with obsessive housework; Solly, about to give birth to her fourth child; Maisie, struggling to accept provincial life; and Christine, the optimist and host of a dinner part where the neighbours come together.

Industry Reviews

"Hideously funny . . . A novel with a sense of rightness at its core and a narrative intelligence so swift and piercing it can take your breath away."
The Boston Globe

"Cusk's glory is her style, cold and hard and devastatingly specific, empathetic but not sympathetic."
Los Angeles Times

"Sharp wit and commanding prose."
The New York Times

"Devastating . . . Incisively vivid."
Publishers Weekly
