Beatriz Serrano: Discontent, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Life can't go on like this - can it?

This book is for everyone who has ever wanted more: more time, more meaning, more connection.

Discontent is an audacious, darkly funny novel and perfect summer read about a young woman in Madrid whose carefully crafted office persona threatens to crack when she's forced to attend her company's annual retreat

'Serrano writes with a caustic flair for detail, with charm and utter hilarity. Absolutely brilliant' Danya Kukafka, author of Notes on an Execution

'I adored our heroine ... A razor-sharp debut'Anna Dorn, author of Perfume and Pain

On the surface, Marisa's life looks enviable. She lives in a nice apartment in the heart of Madrid, her friendly neighbour and lover Pablo lives downstairs, and she's risen quickly through the ranks at a successful advertising agency.

And yet Marisa hates her job and everything about it. Over one hot summer she finds herself in danger of being exposed when she's forced to deliver a talk on creativity at a horrendous team-building retreat. Surrounded by psychopathic bosses, flirty facilitators, and an excess of drugs, Marisa is pushed to the brink of a complete spiral.

Discontent is an audacious, darkly funny novel about acting on our wilder impulses to reclaim our lives from work.

'Intelligent, engaging ... totally hilarious'Ay segül Sava s , author of The Anthropologists
