[EAN: 9780312288570], Neubuch, [PU: St Martin's Press, New York], Paperback. In this taut tour-de-force of a novel, an international bestseller, a young Western woman named Amelie spends a year working at a Japanese corporation. She soon learns that at the Yumimoto Corporation, hierarchy means everything. Keep to your place and you survive; break ranks and you will be broken. The determined but hapless Amelie makes mistake after mistake, not least of which is deigning to sympathise with her immediate superior, the beautiful, efficient and ice-cold Miss Mori. A perverse process of ritual humiliation follows. But even as Amelie's life at the Yumimoto Corporation spirals inexorably and hilariously downwards, what she learns about herself and her colleagues in this brilliant novel will alternately outrage and delight readers. A hapless young Western woman spends a year toiling in a Japanese company, making one terrible cultural blunder after another as she struggles to survive in an unfamiliar environment. By the author of The Stranger Next Door and Loving Sabotage. Reprint. 20,000 first printing. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability., Books<
