PRE-ORDER: Help Wanted by Adelle Waldman
Tightly plotted, slyly caustic and often very funny' Daily Mail
When the store manager at an upstate New York superstore announces he's leaving, the motley crew members of Team Movement take the news surprisingly well. Overworked and exhausted, they spend their early morning shifts scheming about their jobs and their futures. Now is their only chance to get their hated line manager Meredith promoted up and away from them. And then one of them can replace her - but who will it be?
REVIEWS
"Eliot-like ... . It is simultaneously a joke, a homage, and a provocation for our unequal age. Help Wanted washes labour in a stately, almost Steinbeckian light, emphasizing its difficulty but also its dignity,: - New Yorker
"Waldman is a sharp observer of the world, a writer whose attention to particulars only sharpens the bigger picture." ― Atlantic
"Scathing, often humorous and sharply observed ... Waldman's writing is richest and most humane as she traces each worker's private ambitions." ― Telegraph
