Nov 2006: Golden Handcuffs follows two ‘high-flyers’ through their first year in the City. It is based on the writer’s experiences at a large American investment bank in London, and reveals a world that doesn’t quite match up with the fast-paced, exhilarating one that was painted so enticingly on the undergraduate milk-round.

Um drei Uhr morgens mit dem Taxi zur Arbeit? Keine Seltenheit für Abigail. Eigentlich hatte man der Londoner Analystin bei der Investmentbank Gray McKinley das Blaue vom Himmel versprochen. Ihre Arbeit besteht meistens jedoch in der Erstellung sinnloser PowerPoint-Präsentationen. Reine Schikane. Karriere in Blond und Hübsch ist wohl nichts, egal, wie klug sie ist.

Paperback Publisher: Heyne 4 February 2008 ISBN-10: 3453405234 ISBN-13: 978-3453405233 "Habe das Buch durch Zufall am Bahnhof entdeckt. Schon der Klappentext klang witzig und er hat nicht zuviel versprochen. Es erinnert etwas an "Der Teufel trägt Prada" ist aber kein Abklatsch. Konnte das Buch nicht aus der Hand legen." |

Wie zakenbankier wordt in de Londense city moet niet te veel hechten aan tijdrovende hobby’s, zoals slapen of familie. Honderd uur per week werken, moordende concurrentie buiten én binnen het bedrijf, de voetveeg zijn van je superieuren, onafgebroken ploeteren zonder de minste blijk van waardering – welkom in de wereld van een jonge investment banker.
