“The War on Sarah Morris” is a thought-provoking and an ultimately hopeful novel that I recommend.
“The War on Sarah Morris” is a fictional satire about a dystopian workplace named Quill Pen Press and the effect it has on Sarah Morris, a woman in her 50s. Imagine what a bad employer might look like, multiply that by 10x, and you’ll get Quill Pen Press.
“The War on Sarah Morris” is not always a pretty novel to read. It’s rather bleak. I feel that my empathy skills have improved after reading the novel, because I felt Sarah Morris’ pain. I feel that this novel is a page-turner, because I wanted to know how it ends.
The novel provides a great springboard for a philosophical discussion. I found myself wondering about the following questions:
-Why do we work?
-In what ways do you identify with Sarah Morris?
-What would you do differently than Sarah Morris?
-How could companies do better?
“The War on Sarah Morris” is a thought-provoking and an ultimately hopeful novel that I recommend.
