Description
The Odyssey by Lara Williams is a wickedly funny and slyly poignant new satire on modern life. Ingrid's job on a luxury cruise liner may not be ideal, but it provides a comfortable distraction from her past.
However, when she's selected for the employee mentorship scheme, Ingrid is pushed further than she thought possible by the ship's mysterious captain and self-anointed lifestyle guru, Keith. As she navigates this new challenge, she must confront the limits of her own desires and the true cost of her choices.
This merciless takedown of consumer capitalism explores our anxious quests for meaning in a world that often seems to be getting us nowhere. With its unique blend of humor and insight, The Odyssey is a thought-provoking read that will keep you engaged until its unexpected conclusion.
