| book description |
Brought to you by Penguin. Life can’t go on like this – can it? An audacious, darkly funny, perfect summer read about a young woman in Madrid whose office persona threatens to crack when she’s forced to attend her company’s annual retreat On the surface, Marisa’s life looks enviable. She lives in a nice apartment in the heart of Madrid, her friendly neighbour and lover Pablo lives downstairs, and she’s risen quickly through the ranks at a successful advertising agency. And yet Marisa hates her job and everything about it. Over one hot summer she finds herself in danger of being exposed when she’s forced to deliver a talk on creativity at a horrendous team-building retreat. Surrounded by psychopathic bosses, flirty facilitators, and an excess of drugs, Marisa is pushed to the brink of a complete spiral. Discontent is a bold, biting novel about acting on our wilder impulses to reclaim our lives from work. This book is for everyone who has ever wanted more: more time, more meaning, more connection. 'Serrano writes with a caustic flair for detail, with charm and utter hilarity. Absolutely brilliant' Danya Kukafka, author of Notes on an Execution ‘I adored our heroine ... A razor-sharp debut’ Anna Dorn, author of Perfume and Pain ‘Intelligent, engaging ... totally hilarious’ Aysegül Savas, author of The Anthropologists © Beatriz Serrano 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025
