A couple’s struggles offer insight into the complex emotions shaping a corporatized world.
A psychological tale of suspense about a career gone wrong, this debut novel follows business consultant Calder Brandt as he defies backstabbing colleagues in his pursuit of promotion. His struggle is mirrored by his young Bosnian wife, Hana. Her own work challenges and loneliness reveal a marriage locked in an isolation of its own making, one held together only by a shared devotion to their Weimaraner, Darwin.
Set against the impersonal backdrop of high-stakes consulting and the grim reality of deteriorating health, the story asks: How can we hope to thrive in a corporatized and disconnected world where “humane” has lost all meaning?
