Rehenes

Hostages crystallizes the powerful monologue of Sylvie, fifty-three years old, divorced with two children, the perfect employee and right hand of her boss... until she asks him to classify the factory workers among those who should be saved. of a collective dismissal process and those that do not. Suddenly her world falls apart and she ends up doing the unthinkable: kidnapping her boss for one night. A novel that reads like a manifesto, like a cry and a wake-up call for us to rethink the submission to which the system subjects us; what is freedom or obedience; the alienation to which the world of work leads us while we think that we are realizing ourselves precisely through it, and the harsh reality that women face, for whom the violence that companies often exert towards them it has nothing to envy that of men.
