THE ODYSSEY - LARA WILLIAMS KARTONIERT (TB)

From the prize-winning author of Supper Club comes a wickedly funny and slyly poignant new
satire on modern life - for fans of My Year of Rest and Relaxation  Convenience Store Woman 
and J. G. Ballard's High Rise'This book is a serious vibe' Cosmopolitan'Lara Williams is the
queen of smart modern satire. I could read her all day' Emma Jane Unsworth Meet Ingrid. She
works on a gargantuan luxury cruise liner  where she spends her days reorganizing the
merchandise and waiting for long-term guests to drop dead in the changing rooms. On her days

not a bad life. And it distracts her from thinking about the other life she left behind five
years ago. Until one day she is selected for the employee mentorship scheme - an initiative run
by the ship's mysterious captain and self-anointed lifestyle guru  Keith  who pushes Ingrid
further than she thought possible. But sooner or later  she will have to ask herself: how far
is too far? Utterly original  mischievous and thought-provoking  The Odyssey is a merciless
takedown of consumer capitalism and our anxious  ill-fated quests for something to believe in.
And as its title suggests  it is a voyage that will eventually lead its unlikely heroine all
the way home. Though she'd do almost anything to avoid getting there...
