About the book: But money lights your world up. You're trapped, what can you do? - David Berman
Money talks. But what if it lies?
Brooke wants many things. A sense of purpose, independence, security. To make a difference in the world, and maybe to impress her mother along the way.
Her job assisting an eighty-something billionaire in his quest to give away a vast fortune could be just the ticket to the life she knows she is entitled to.
Intoxicated by this new-found proximity to wealth and power, Brooke soon finds herself rubbing shoulders with the one per cent, as her boss' attention offers a glimpse into a world just beyond her grasp.
But before long, being under his wing is not enough, and Brooke starts to dangerously blur the lines between what belongs to him, and what should belong to her.
Taut, unsettling and alive to the seductive distortions of money and race, Entitlement (2024) is a biting tale for our new gilded age.
