This quirky, charming and hilarious debut novel takes you on a fun romp through office politics, anger management and finding redemption in the unlikeliest of places. An easy read, it's especially relatable if you work in an office anywhere.
When Morag and Jamie arrive in London, UK, from southern Africa, it takes Morag six months and a series of disastrous interviews to find her first job in the Big Smoke.
After getting a job at anger management charity, The HAMP, she finds herself face-to-face with a line-up of unique, annoying and (sometimes) lovable colleagues. All goes smoothly, sort of, until a disastrous tweet sends this fictitious London charity into crisis management and on to the sports field, where hilarity and heroes emerge.
Fans of The Office will enjoy this feel-good satire. Morag's keen observations, crushing neuroses and wild exaggerations will have you laughing out loud one moment, and profoundly moved, the next.
