‘Second Place’ is the name given by the narrator to a kind of guest dwelling on her property on the edge of a darkly beautiful marshland. I decided to stick with just Second Place. After some discussion, it was agreed that each of us could read either or both of the books, and we’d let the discussion play out as it would. Then the Book Chooser sent around a WhatsApp asking how we’d all feel about changing to Transit, an earlier book that ‘gives a better sense of how Rachel Cusk has transformed the novel form’. So I scanned a random page, intending to focus my pre-meeting blogging on that page. Before the meeting: I borrowed a copy of the book from my local library and just had time to read it and return it before heading out of town over the New Year.
