   Summary

   Bea Porter-Blanchet, after two years of mindless copywriting in the attic of the Hamlyn "O" Courant, is finally promoted to the downstairs City desk in late 1959 where she'll work alongside (the tall) Arthur Hastings, (the inquisitive) Gemma Olsen, (the irritating) Danny Defoe, (the dull) Clive Hamilton, and (the dour) Mary Ann Evans and Currer Bell. While she juggles her new workplace friendships (and not-so-friendships) she must distract from an increasingly pressing issue that'll require coming to terms with past regrets.

   Marked Mature for swearing and drug use consistent with the WHF universe. But if you enjoy office drama trivialities and a seemingly pointless story that may eventually have a point, please read on.
