(  ) amanaceerdh | Oct 23, 2009 |  Rosa Lane is a character to remember. If you like books that are character driven, this is a fantastic choice for you. Especially if you have gone through a lot in your lifetime, you will relate. (  ) PoeticaL | Sep 1, 2009 | I read this book last fall, but what has stayed with me in this story of a woman who is depressed and alone, facing really hard decisions for the first time in her life. After he mother dies, Rosa leaves a job she dislikes and then her boyfriend leaves her. These series of disasters just set the stage for Rosa to fix herself. (  ) kepitcher | Aug 15, 2009 | The main character, Rosa, is lovely but she does go on! But this is no different to listening to a friend who is going through bad times and as a novel, I was in no way tempted to stop reading. Rosa gives us some lovely, insightful thoughts, especially about her grandparents. Recommended. ( ) TalulahBelle | Jun 2, 2009 | I have broken off reading about half way through as the book was getting too boring. It seems like a sort of poor woman's Silvia Plath as the protagonist falls deeper into a mental breakdown. Lots of stream of consciousness angst.

| Book description |
|
When Rosa Lane, a promising young journalist, impulsively hits the send button on an email to her boss saying "I quit," so begins her pursuit of enlightenment in the jungles of cutthroat London. As she embarks upon her quest for a sense of purpose, she is deceived by her lover, surprised by her friends, turned out by her roommate, threatened by her bank manager, picked over by prospective employers, and tormented by all the bizarre expectations of the modern world. An erudite and darkly comic novel, brimming with lacerating wit and compassion, Inglorious is a truly engrossing character study of a woman walking the edge between self-destruction and self-discovery.
