A literary controversy is brewing around Natalie Portman and Rachel Cusk, with claims that the author's new novel, Life of M, draws striking parallels to the Oscar winner's life.
Portman has reportedly found the book 'annoying', according to Page Six, as speculation mounts that Cusk may have drawn on aspects of the actress's personal and professional world for the book's central character. The alleged similarities have sparked questions over where artistic inspiration ends and real-life imitation begins, putting an unexpected spotlight on both women.
