This book brought back memories of when I was 20 and working as an intern at a huge corporation. It was a very conservative environment and I was the only Italian who wasn't working as cook/cleaning person. It was well before any idea about inclusive work environment came into being and I know how I felt when I was labeled as the "foreigner".
I felt a strong bond to Nella and I think I would have reacted like her if someone like me had joined the team.
It's a gripping, darkly humorous and well written story. A thriller that made me reflect and brought back memories.
I don't know if the depiction of publishing workplaces is right or exaggerated, I know that some thing are common to all working environment and the author did a good job in describing the dynamics.
Good character and plot development, a thought provoking stories. The hype around this story is justified.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
