Krátky popis
Since leaving his job to look after Alexa, his eight year old
daughter, Thomas Bradshaw has found the structure of his daily
piano practice and the study of musical form brings a nourishment
to these difficult middle years. His pursuit of a more artistic way
of life shocks and irritates his parents and his in-laws. Why has
he swapped roles with Tonie Swann, his intense, intellectual wife
who has accepted a demanding full-time University job? How can this
be good for Alexa and for the family as a whole? Tonie tunes
herself out of domestic life, into the harder, headier world of
work where long-since forgotten memories of herself are
awakened.She soon finds herself outside their tight family circle
and alive to previously unimaginable possibilities. Over the course
of a year full of crisis and revelation, we follow the fortunes of
Thomas, Tonie, his brothers and their families: Howard, the older,
more successful brother and his gregarious wife Claudia, and Leo,
lacking confidence, propped up by Susie, his sharp-tongued,
heavy-drinking wife. At the head of the family, the aging Bradshaw
parents continue their marital dynamic of bickering and petty
undermining.“The Bradshaw Variations” is a powerful novel about how
our choices and our loves and the family life we build will always
be an echo – a variation – of a theme played out in our own
childhood. The novel, Cusk’s sixth , shows a prize-winning writer
at the height of her powers.
