Description
Kate Huggins sat trembling at her first job interview with the Deerfield Paper Company in 1941.
High up in the Cathedral of Commerce building on Lexington Avenue, she saw the office as a refuge from the problems that had sent her running to New York from her hometown in Pennsylvania.
Kate got the job-and spent the next four decades of her life at the office. There, she grew up, made friends, fell in love, and played out her destiny with scores of other men and women. There, the Deerfield Paper Company also grew-from a small family business to a corporate empire to something else no one could have predicted.
THE OFFICE
is a novel that explores in fascinating detail the kinds of relationships-the ties for better or for worse-that develop when people from all walks of life spend eight hours a day together, working, living talking: giving and taking: chasing their hopes and dreams, or at least a regular paycheck...
