The War on Sarah Morris by Kathleen Jones. I loved this book so much. It was so different from things I’ve read in the past. It’s the story of almost 50 year old Sarah who is a prominent editor at the book company she works for. One day she receives an email that tells her she will no longer have the majority of her duties and that they will be handed down to other people. The company has been taken over by new people and the people they have hired to do most of her jobs are paid a lot less, except for one employee who happens to be the favorite; ( I can so relate to this as I’m mid 50’s been at my job 30 years and there is a pet employee, enough to drive you mad) anyway Sarah is doing everything she can to hang on and not lose her job and that includes keeping her mouth shut. Can Sarah hold on and not lose her temper and her lifeline which is her job. It’s becoming very difficult for her to find similar employment because of her age and experience. This is such a hot topic for many right now and it’s a sad sign of our affairs. I loved this book so much because I felt like Sarah so many times in this book. I was cheering for her the whole way through.
