Cattle
The sole carer for her incapacitated husband and the unwilling custodian of a block of land out in the Australian country, Carmelia takes life’s blows with an unquestioning calm. That is, until she discovers that she’s very, very good at her new job.
While her much younger colleagues begin to have breakdowns from the stress of their still-unspecified work, Carmelia learns that she has talents she never before could have guessed at. Aided by her eerie and aggressive boss, a young man named Bill, and by a new friend named Ed, Carmelia rises through the ranks of this new company, taking control of her life in the process.
However, soon her life changes once again, when she stumbles across a video depicting a terrible act of violence, and featuring a face that seems uncomfortably familiar to her.
Cattle is a book about violence, capital, and the things that our modern “post-work” society requires of us.

Deeply attuned to the things that drain us and feed off of the ache that's left over.
