The War on Sarah Morris by Kathleen Jones is an honest look at what happens when Sarah’s role as editor for a publishing company gets redefined into a list of tasks that she considers grunt work. The tasks become overwhelming Sarah finds herself working hours of unpaid overtime to try to keep up. The company culture turns into one of suppression, and Sarah feels trapped. The book is written from Sarah’s perspective, and I found myself rooting for Sarah to stand up for herself. On the much broader spectrum, this book brings up some philosophical questions about why we work and about the work we do. I recommend the thought-provoking book for anyone who questions their place in the corporate environment.
