By Rachel Cusk

What We Say: A book gripping in its stillness, Outline follows an unnamed writer heading to Athens to teach a writing course. Unusual and beautiful in that the story is not about her but the people she meets and the conversations she hears along the way, we couldn’t put it down.

What They Say: “Outline succeeds powerfully. Among other things, it gets a great variety of human beings down on the page with both immediacy and depth; an elemental pleasure that makes the book as gripping to read as a thriller... A stellar accomplishment” – James Lasdun, Guardian
