Peasants at a Party and Other Stories: Tales of Contemporary Corporate Life

By Sona Maniar

A pair of idle investment bankers get caught up in an art hustle. A rising star gets backstabbed by her own mentor. An ambitious CEO pays a steep price for an unfortunate misstep. A London City banker finds himself writing scripts for Bollywood. Peasants at a Party is a collection of such fictional tales set in the UK, US, and India where vicious politics, greed, and lust intersect against a backdrop of the corporate world.Unmasking the shenanigans at play through her keen observation and imaginative storytelling, the author Sona Maniar brings her own experience of having lived and worked in six countries and takes us on an entertaining ride across the business landscape. With ups and downs and often a surprise twist at the end, the stories reveal the harshness beneath the apparent glamour and compel the reader to reflect, introspect and most importantly ask the question - Could this too happen in the workplace?
