ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A BREAKTHROUGH AUTHOR, THE VOICE OF A GENERATION FULL OF DOUBTS, RAGE, AND DESPITE EVERYTHING, PASSION.WINNER OF THE LLIBRETER AWARDWhat is life about, in general, what are people's lives about? I don't mean the lives of those people to whom extraordinary things happen to that change their entire existence, but I mean that of the majority of people... The year in which a wave of suicides occurs at the French headquarters of a telecommunications company, the protagonist of this story begins to work for its subsidiary in Madrid. She soon finds herself subjected to mobbing: she is not given one single task to work on. Every day she gets to the office and faces six hours (reduced shift due to maternity) of nothingness. In response, she uses all that extra free time to conceive a plan of personal revenge against the global economy and labor policies. It is an intimate rebellion against society. She is forty years old, has two small children and an Argentine husband on a dubious tour as a rock star, and, is waiting to be laid off or receive compensation, and neither has yet to arrive. For three hundred and sixty-five days, as she crosses off items on her shopping list, she will realize how universal truths, her faith in reconciliation policies, the efficacy of shampoos, and preconceived ideas of a happiness, fall away and disappear. This novel, which was a finalist for the Clar n Prize, is an anti-capitalist cry written with dark humor and passion, and talks about a fall, love, sharp things, and a dead orchid.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/8/42/641/098/8426410987_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "18.95", "online_price" : "18.95", "our_price" : "18.95", "club_price" : "18.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
