Every day, the same routine, the same trains. But something happened a while ago - she dared to voice a different opinion from her moody boss, Jacques. Bit by bit she finds herself frozen out of everything, with no work to do. Thibault is a paramedic. Every day he drives to the addresses he receives from his controller. The city spares him no grief: traffic jams, elusive parking spaces, delivery trucks blocking his route. He is well aware that he may be the only human being many of the people he visits will see for the entire day and is well acquainted with the symptomatic illnesses, the major disasters, the hustle and bustle and, of course, the immense, pervading loneliness of the city. Before one day in May, Mathilde and Thibault had never met. They were just two anonymous figures in a crowd, pushed and shoved and pressured continuously by the loveless, urban world. Underground Time is a novel of quiet violence - the violence of office-bullying, the violence of the brutality of the city - in which our two characters move towards an inevitable meeting"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Bullying $x Fiction. 650 0 $a City and town life $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Solitude $x Fiction. 700 1 $a Miller, George, $d 1965- 941 $a 4 952 $l AWPD207 $d 20210205020116.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720040440.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116064719.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20111207011133.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D9591FA20A111E19942ACBF6AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
