SUMMARY:Maureen Sherry reads from her debut adult novel Opening Belle
DESCRIPTION:A whip-smart and funny novel told by a former Wall Street insider who reveals what it’s like for a working woman to balance love\, ambition\, and family in a world of glamorous excess\, outrageous risk-taking\, and jaw-dropping sexism. In 2008\, Isabelle—a self-made\, thirty-something Wall Street star—appears to have it all: an Upper West Side apartment\, three healthy children\, a handsome husband\, and a high-powered job. But her reality is something else. Her trading desk work environment resembles a 1980s frat party\, her husband feels employment is beneath him\, and the bulk of childcare and homecare still falls in Belle’s already full lap. Enter Henry\, the former college fiancé she never quite got over; now a hedge fund mogul. He becomes her largest client\, and Belle gets to see the life she might have had with him. While Henry campaigns to win Belle back\, the sexually harassed women in her office take action to improve their working conditions\, and recruit a wary Belle into a secret “glass ceiling club” whose goal is to mellow the cowboy banking culture and get equal pay for their work. All along\, Belle can sense the financial markets heading toward their soon-to-be historic crash and that something has to give—and when it does\, everything is going to change: her marriage\, her career\, her world\, and her need to keep her colleagues’ hands to themselves. \nFrom Maureen Sherry\, a prize winning writer\, a former Managing Director on Wall Street (who never signed a nondisclosure agreement when she left)\, Opening Belle takes readers into the adrenaline-fueled chaos of a Wall Street trading desk\, the lavish parties\, the lunch-time rendezvous\, and ultimately into the heart of a woman who finds it easier to cook up millions at work than dinner at home.
