The novel is about a woman named Laura, who goes to her husband’s job, where she also has gotten a job. Laura and her husband live a separated relationship, and therefore none of them are aware of that they are going to work at the same place. At the job there is another woman named Janny, who looks pretty according to Laura. Vernon is the boss, and tells her what she should be doing. So Lisa puts a lot of effort in the job, and finds out that something is wrong. As she tries to fix the problem, none of them really listen to her, but she gets a place at the office, where she gets the opportunity to investigate the problem.
The story is told in a first person limited narrator. She thinks much about, how other people see her, and doesn’t want to admit things like she has forgotten her shoes at home ”My trainers definitely will look weird with my skirt, so I’ll tell them that my feet hurt and it will be better- if they don’t mind if I walk in bare feet”.
And she doesn’t want other people to transparent her ”I’m wearing the clothes I slept in. It saved me 20 minutes this morning and meant I would sleep a little longer. My outfit is a skirt and lycra top so there’s no creasing, so who would know?” which means that she isn’t very confident.
