Description
Brooke Orr's quest to change her life and the world is one that takes an unexpected turn. Assisting an octogenarian billionaire in his mission to give away his vast fortune proves to be deeply satisfying work, driven by noble ideals and a significant amount of money. This unlikely friendship brings together two individuals from different walks of life: Brooke, a 33-year-old Black woman raised by a single mother in New York City, and Asher Jaffee, an 83-year-old white business tycoon with an elaborate lifestyle. As they work together, the boundaries between need and want begin to blur. Their proximity to each other's worlds has a profound effect on both Brooke and Asher. The line between what is required and what is desired becomes increasingly difficult to define. This novel explores the complexities of their relationship and the ways in which it challenges their individual perspectives. Through this unlikely friendship, Rumaan Alam raises important questions about class, privilege, and the nature of change.
