Moral Hazard

"A unique book by an extraordinary writer...humane and unsparing; witty, unsettling, and wildly intelligent."Shirley Hazzard, author of The Transit of Venus

"A piercing novel, gleaming with facets of hard-won knowledge, polished by experience and a keen intelligence."Publisher’s Weekly

On Wall Street in the 1990s, where ego, vanity and hypocrisy run rife, an ex-radical feminist takes a job as a corporate speechwriter to support her older husband, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimers.
