Description
Provocador e inteligente, La otra chica negra es un debut electrizante sobre la tensión que se crea cuando dos jóvenes negras se encuentran cara a cara en el mundo editorial neoyorkino, predominantemente blanco. La joven asistente editorial Nella Rogers está cansada de ser la única empleada negra en Wagner Books. Harta del aislamiento y las pequeñas ofensas, no puede evitar entusiasmarse cuando una nueva compañera negra, nacida y criada en Harlem, empieza a trabajar en el cubículo de al lado. Sin embargo, pronto una serie de incómodos acontecimientos convierten a Hazel en la predilecta de la oficina, y Nella es relegada a un segundo plano. Entonces empiezan a aparecer notas amenazantes en la mesa de Nella: «VETE DE WAGNER. AHORA.» Es difícil creer que Hazel esté detrás de esos mensajes hostiles. Pero cuando Nella empieza a obsesionarse con las siniestras fuerzas del juego, pronto se da cuenta de que está en riesgo mucho más que su carrera. Un thriller inteligente y dinámico, y una astuta crónica social, perfecta para cualquier persona que alguna vez se haya sentido manipulada, amenazada o ignorada en el puesto de trabajo. Esta obra te mantendrá en vilo hasta la última página.
Description
"Get Out meets The Devil Wears Prada in this electric debut about the tension that unfurls when two young Black women meet against the starkly white backdrop of New York City book publishing. Twenty-six-year-old editorial assistant Nella Rogers is tired of being the only Black employee at Wagner Books. Fed up with the isolation and microaggressions, she's thrilled when Harlem-born and bred Hazel starts working in the cubicle beside hers. They've only just started comparing natural hair care regimens, though, when a string of uncomfortable events elevates Hazel to Office Darling, and Nella is left in the dust. Then the notes begin to appear on Nella's desk: LEAVE WAGNER. NOW. It's hard to believe Hazel is behind these hostile messages. But as Nella starts to spiral and obsess over the sinister forces at play, she soon realizes that there's a lot more at stake than just her career. A whip-smart and dynamic thriller and sly social commentary that is perfect for anyone who has ever felt manipulated, threatened, or overlooked in the workplace, The Other Black Girl will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last twist"--,Provided by publisher
