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
