Private Equity is an extraordinarily gripping and revelatory journey through a world we rarely get to glimpse, despite its influence on our lives. But it is also a moving story of how easily a life can be submerged by work, and what it takes to regain one’s soul -- Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of FOUR THOUSAND WEEKS: TIME MANAGEMENT FOR MORTALS Piercing and propulsive. Carrie Sun's examinations of this most rarefied stratum are nuanced and poignant. Private Equity is a young woman's reckoning, set at the summit of money and power that asks the most universal of questions: how much of ourselves do we owe our family and work and how do we find the courage to make our days our own? -- Stephanie Danler, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of SWEETBITTER Carrie Sun's nuanced and shocking memoir depicts a woman's rise in a high finance dystopia where an employee's life is never private and nothing is equitable. Private Equity is the account of years of leashed efficiency that left her a wild and breaking heart and, eventually, the courage to speak its bitter, unsparing truth -- Honor Moore, author of OUR REVOLUTION, A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER AT MIDCENTURY A fascinating memoir, tense and exciting, taking us inside a rarefied kingdom that, more than we'd like to admit, controls our lives. I highly recommend it -- Phillip Lopate
