Occupation

Description
British playwright Rachel Joyce pens engaging allegorical fiction featuring ordinary people attempting to come to terms with their pasts and their unanticipated futures. Her charming characters wrestle with failed relationships, lost opportunities, and their inevitable mortality. Joyce is by turns comic, melodramatic, and haunting, introducing an effective sense of place as well as an abundance of quintessentially British eccentricities. She also has an optimistic view of the malleability of human beings: no matter your age or your station in life, you can "be ordinary and attempt something extraordinary." Start with: The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
