IN THE WORLD' Morgan Dick author of The Favourite Daughter ⭐ 1982 Jane Kinloch arrives at
the legendary townhouse offices of the East River Review as a wide-eyed intern with big dreams.
When she strikes up a friendship with glamorous fellow intern Rose the two soon become
inseparable. But Rose's attraction to their married boss literary titan Edward David Adams
threatens to drive a wedge between them. 2022 Once upon a time in publishing editors had
their own offices. But now to her great chagrin Rebecca Blume of Avenue Publishing must share
custody of a 'hot desk' with Ben Heath editor at rival imprint Hawk Mills. What starts as a
battle of passive-aggressive Post-it notes about an unwatered cactus notes escalates after the
death of renowned writer Edward David Adams. He has left behind an unpublished manuscript and
Ben and Rebecca are soon vying for the career-making opportunity to publish it. But when
Rebecca discovers that the manuscript contains a decades-old secret about her mother Jane she
is determined to stop it from seeing the light of day. Can she persuade her infuriating (and
annoyingly handsome) rival deskmate to let it go? A funny sexy unexpectedly moving novel
that weaves a contemporary workplace romance with a gripping historical narrative set in the
1980s New York publishing industry.
