Sweet Charity
Formats: E-Book, Paperback
Ages: 18+
A quirky satire about office politics, anger management and finding redemption in the unlikeliest of places, especially relatable if you work in an office anywhere.
When Morag and Jamie arrive in London, UK, fresh from southern Africa, they’re set to carpe every diem on their new adventure. Little does Morag know it’ll take her six months of diems and a series of disastrous interviews to find her first job in the Big Smoke.
But when she lands 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 for Morag and The HAMP, sort of, until a disastrous tweet sends this fictitious London charity into crisis management overdrive and on to the sports field, where hilarity and heroes emerge.
Morag's keen observations, crushing neuroses and wild exaggerations will have you laughing out loud one moment, and profoundly moved, the next.
Reviews
I laughed till I had tears rolling. I got feisty at some very relatable characters we have all somewhere come across in life’s journey. The melting pot of an office and all these characters would make a marvellous sit com. A very enjoyable read. Can’t wait for the sequel.
What a fabulous book! I couldn’t wait for the quiet times in our busy schedule to keep reading. It is funny, witty and unique- a great story with such compelling characters. Highly recommended.
Sweet Charity is a delightful, feel good book. It's particularly strong in its observations of everyday/working life and detailed appreciation of people's individual characteristics. It had me chuckling out loud to myself in public, exactly what I needed for my next read. I love its little weaved in descriptions of living and working in London. Very sweet book. I would definitely recommend.
