As an Asian-American, I have never been a fan of affirmative action, preferring to get a job based on merit rather than the color of my skin (these things have a way of backfiring on all involved) so it’s always refreshing to read a book about an Asian woman doing well and getting close to the brass ring. Instead of choosing her, Marty Adler opted for Jeff Murphy, but what was even more shocking was why Ingrid was snubbed. Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of “QUIET: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking”“A wholly engrossing behind-the-scenes look at real life behind the pomp, power and prestige of a high-powered law firm that wants to still play by a 1950s rule book.
