After a lifetime working in the corporate world as an overlooked
minority woman, when Sanya finally gets the promotion she deserves, she loses
it. Completely. First she can’t stop laughing, then crying, then she says
nothing at all, hiding out in her bed for almost a year. Her husband, Harry,
has a business opportunity in Copenhagen, but is also looking for a way to
bring his formally cheerful and productive wife back, and he convinces Sanya to
go with him. The new setting and different kinds of people she meets slowly
bring Sanya out of her shell, but in an I-don’t-give-a-f$$k kind of way. The
results are hilarious. As she mingles with Danish high society, she tells them
what she thinks, and/or refuses to play their games, and you’ll want to take a
bit of her spirit with you at the end.
The rest of the plot includes some shady
business dealings, propositions between married people, and a tall, dark and
handsome stranger who seems to be the only one who understands what Sanya is
going through. Harry, meanwhile, sees his marriage falling apart, and fights to
bring Sanya back not just from depression but to their marriage. All in all a
highly entertaining read, and worth it alone for setting. Come for the scenery
and stay for the story.
