Hardcover. Condición: Good. First Edition. Product DescriptionAn absorbing and memorable novel (Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children) set in the world of corporate intrigue, about a woman who must choose between her dream job and everything else-her savings, her reputation, and an unexpected chance at love.From award-winning author Frederick Dillen, an inspiring and deeply moving novel about the power of second chancesAs a corporate undertaker for a mergers and acquisitions firm in New York, Carol MacLean travels from factory to factory, firing blue-collar workers who remind her of her father and the kids she grew up with. She hates her job. But Carol has been biding her time: her boss has promised that one day, after she has paid her dues, Carol will get to run a company instead of having to bury it.On what is supposed to be her last assignment, Carol travels up the coast of Massachusetts to a desperate fishing town where the late lobster and day boats cluster around the inner harbor, the blue steeples of the Portuguese church stand tall on the horizon, and the last remaining fish processing plant is in its death throes. Thats when she learns that shes about to be fired.To save the town and herself, Carol becomes determined to rescue the factory shes under orders to shut down. With the help of the townspeople and a roughly charming local fisherman, and by the force of her own resolve, Carol throws herself into transforming the company-but is soon faced with increasingly difficult decisions. Must she choose between the job she has always wanted and everything else?Beauty explores the ways in which one woman will risk everything-her savings, her reputation, and even a chance at love-in pursuit of her dream.From BooklistThe fast-moving, cutthroat world of corporate acquisitions and mergers proves a fascinating milieu for the story of one woman. Carol McLean, 56, is the undertaker who delivers the news that a company is dead for New York firm Baxter Blume, and in that role, she has become known as the Beast. After just one more burial-of Elizabeths Fish in coastal Massachusetts-shes been promised her own company. But Baxter Blume reneges and fires her instead, and Carol-impressed by the women who work the line at the fish factory-acts to make Elizabeths Fish her own to run. With her blue-collar background, Carol relates to the people of Elizabeth Island, particularly to fisherman Ezekiel Easy Parsons, who tags her with the nickname Beauty. Dealing with a proposed zoning change is easy, but then comes the potentially fatal injunction limiting the local fishing thats essential to Carols plan. Dillens third novel (after Hero, 1994, and Fool, 1999) is an absorbing story of one smart, hardworking woman handling the fat boys of corporate leadership on their own turf, with masterfully developed characters and, as a bonus, a poignant romance. --Michele LeberReview"Speaking of empathy, I loved Frederick Dillen's quirky novel 'Beauty,' in which a mergers and acquisitions professional learns that she's been fired and buys a fish factory she was ordered to shut down, redefining her life in a bleak coastal hamlet." Jayne Anne Phillips (WALL STREET JOURNAL - Best Books of 2014)About the AuthorFrederick Dillen is an award-winning author whose short fiction has appeared in literary quarterlies and Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards. His first novel, Hero, was named Best First Novel of 1994 by the Dictionary of Literary Biography.
