In Temporary, a young woman’s workplace is the size of the world. She fills increasingly bizarre placements in search of steadiness, connection, and something, at last, to call her own. Whether it’s shining an endless closet of shoes, swabbing the deck of a pirate ship, assisting an assassin, or filling in for the Chairman of the Board, for the mythical Temporary, “there is nothing more personal than doing your job.”

Annie, Edward, and their young daughter, Rose, live in a cramped apartment. One night, without warning, they find a beautiful terrace hidden in their closet. It wasn’t there before, and it seems to only appear when their friend Stephanie visits. A city dweller’s dream come true! But every extra bit of space has a hidden cost, and the terrace sets off a seismic chain of events, forever changing the shape of their tiny home, and the shape of the world.

La protagonista de esta novela hace de todo: fregar en un barco pirata, ordenar armarios de zapatos, llevar las cenizas de su jefe, trabajar para un asesino a sueldo... Y, sin embargo, parece que nunca ha estado más lejos de tener un empleo estable, aunque ella continúa soñando con lograrlo algún día, en un mundo en el que pensar a largo plazo se antoja difícil de por sí, y más si tienes dieciocho novios y un fantasma.
