Full Description
En Passant delves into the Financial Crisis of 2008. A Montréal
native working in London, David is trying to stay afloat while the
financial markets plunge in disarray. He and an entire team of
strategists are being laid off, but it will take an evening walk with
his colleague Clarissa, which ends disturbingly, for David's world to
finally unravel. He has become the office scapegoat overnight.
As he grapples with the aftermath of this episode, David goes back and
forth between London and Montréal, encountering a series of eclectic
characters. Most tread with care, except for Rory, who has no qualms
shaking his worldview. All will play a role on the chaotic chessboard
that has become his life. Painstakingly, the once-passionate player
finds the moves required to win the great endgame, only to then reset
the rules altogether.
Those who do not study history are bound to repeat it. Psychologically
rich and unafraid to hint at deeper truths, David's comeback story is
more relevant today than ever. The reader will feel compelled to ponder:
"What if this not-so-distant past were to repeat itself tomorrow?"
