Produktbeschreibung

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

'A wry work of spectacular wit ... Absolutely brilliant' Danya Kukafka, author of Notes on an execution

'I adored our heroine ... Razor-sharp with a riveting climax' 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' Aysegül Savas, author of The Anthropologists
