Praise for Previous Works: A powerhouse novel about the construction and execution of female identity. In its pages, motherhood, marriage and the very notion of care are meticulously deconstructed. What a writer Agnes Lidbeck is bold, blisteringly intelligent, deliciously playful. Katie Kitamura, author of Audition and Intimacies
Taut, restrained, fiercely frank, Agnes Lidbeck's SUPPORTING ACT is a feminist tour de force. Claire Messud, author of This Strange Eventful History
'As a meditation of the role of women, the novel's bluntness belies its complexity. Lidbeck brilliantly depicts the psychology of a person bent on moulding themselves to others' desires.' Literary Review
Perfectly captures the feminised dream-state of caring and living for others. Stephanie Sy-Quia, author of A Private Man and Amnion
