Caroline Wahl | The Assistant

Charlotte sits very close to the center of power in the publisher's antechamber. She quickly realizes that he often changes his assistants. But she develops a good relationship with her boss, who recognizes her strengths and trusts her. And she has to put up with a lot, a lot, perhaps even fight hard herself, perhaps even risk her health. Maybe even lose Bo, with whom she has only just fallen in love.
In a wonderfully laconic tone, with humor and depth, Caroline Wahl's new novel tells the story of a young woman who refuses to let herself become a victim and yet finds herself in a situation that many people know: when your job becomes hell. An everyday tale of woe, a novel about resilience and survival.
