Not Working (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Lisa Owens | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A laugh-out-loud, irreverent debut novel that forces you to imagine what might happen if you quit your job to find your true purpose.


First there was Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones, then Allison Pearson's I Don't Know How She Does It and now Lisa Owens' Not Working, capturing the point of view of a young generation trying not to have it all, but to figure out what it all means. Twenty-something Londoner Claire has just resigned from her job without a plan--and although she is pleased, her family and friends can't seem to understand. Before too long, she manages to push away both her safe, steady, brain-surgeon boyfriend and her difficult but loving mother.
     Quirky, questioning Claire hilariously navigates and comments on the emotions and minutiae of day-to-day life as only someone without the distractions of a regular routine can. This is a story of self-discovery, packed with wry humour and told in sparkling vignettes.
