4.0 out of 5 stars A good first effort, 29 Oct 1999
By A Customer
Saving Agnes puts you into the head of a lonesome young Englishwoman. She walks the streets of London in a daze, passively accepting whatever life hands her, both personally and professionally. My reaction to her musings on her life were much the same as I had to "Of Human Bondage": snap out of it! Fortunately, this heroine manages it in far fewer pages, and I found the ending fairly satisfying. It's not as good as the more recent "The Country Life," by any means, but I think that's a good sign. Rachel Cusk is headed in the right direction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Agnes needs saving ?!, 7 Jun 2006
By Canny Scot (Glasgow, Scotland.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Saving Agnes (Hardcover)
This is an enjoyable quick read which I found immensely funny at times.Life in the modern metropolis is sharply observed,the characters likable,overall an enjoyable read by an obviously intelligent & gifted writer.I did feel that many of the scenes had a TV sit-com feel about them & Agnes's unassertiveness somehow didn't chime in with my own knowledge/experiences of the modern,professional working girl,(in my opinion,highly aggressive,thoroughly self-confident beings!).As a first novel though,excellent work,I intend to try her other books & look forward to it with high expectations & not a little excitement.
