While the book provides more details, the play gives life to images which highlight the exhaustion and fatigue that comes from being part of the working poor. The book is also based on a play.

That make's it sound very interesting, albeit depressing, given the fact that it seems unlikely that the wealthy would read this and thus make any changes. From having worked in retail---if anything many times it's people's attitudes towards the working-class that is also abhorrent. Barely making a wage and then being treated like crap...like I said v. depressing! Thanks for reviewing this.
