In Office Hours

A masterclass in office love...

Stella Bradberry and Bella Chambers work for Atlantic Energy, a global oil company in London. Bella is a pretty single mother who dropped out of college and is doomed to work as an invisible assistant to a series of men of half her intelligence. Stella is twenty years older, about to get a seat on the board, and is the original no-glass-ceiling, high-achieving, multi-tasking mother of two. Everyone admires her; shes so straightforward and sensible. So what possesses both women to embark on pole-axing, heart-wrenching affairs with men they wouldnt have looked twice at outside the office?

Smart, funny, moving and agonizing, In Office Hours holds up a mirror to modern corporate life. Its all here - the lies and sabotage, the strutting lunacy of CEOs, mens choice of sandwiches, womens choice of affair underwear, taking credit for others ideas, the building and crashing of egos. And the obsessive, dangerous conduct of work colleagues who, in the grip of passion, break all the rules.
