Summary

Jen, a happily married thirty-something and would-be artist, has been made redundant. Out of sheer financial desperation, she has taken a description-less job at a charitable foundation run by a wealthy (and largely absent) celebrity. Amid the absurd day-to-day operations of the foundation, Jen feels increasingly futile and anxious. Her belief in herself as an artist, her very sane and loving husband, her desire to have a baby, and her bond with her two well-meaning best friends are all called into question.
