IN OFFICE HOURS
Book ID/图书代码: 00200009B32740
English Summary/英文概要: IN OFFICE HOURS Meet Stella and Bella.
One is the most senior woman in the company, in line for a place on the board. The other is a PA, doomed to keep the diaries of men with half her IQ. What is it about the office that makes two women like them risk all on affairs with men they would normally find completely unattractive? What is it about the routine, emotionless office that turns frogs into princes, makes women invisible (but not invulnerable) and transforms all CEOs into idiots?
This gripping, witty, unputdownable novel tells their stories and answers all these questions: about men and women at work, in illicit love, on the make, victorious then utterly wretched.
IN OFFICE HOURS is laugh-out-loud funny, gut-wrenchingly moving, wickedly observant and horribly recognizable to any woman who has ever worked in an office.
