The WarWorkers EM Delafield Books
Delafield was a wonderful discovery for us. I had to find out why my wife was guffawing in the other room. Seventy years after this novel we had both worked under a manager who had the same charming effect on some underlings, and the micromanagement style and self-important cruelty of the antagonist in this novel, who amassed all power to herself by wrongfully convicting everyone else of incompetence. I never hoped to see toxic megalomania so humorously and deftly portrayed.Product details

The WarWorkers EM Delafield Books Reviews
alrhough,this book is dated,it was interesting. i was sorry that it wasn't a freebie. i did not realize the extent of war worke that women did i world war 1.
ok
Although an insight into the time, it was difficult to warm up to the megalomania of the main character. The rest of the characters were pretty interesting.
I had a hard time appreciating this book because the main character was such a control-freak! She felt that everything depended on her, or it wouldn't get done properly. I wanted to scream, "Delegate, delegate, delegate!" My aggravation with her was so distracting, I guess I missed whatever the proper focus was supposed to be about the book. I felt so bad for her and for others out there today like her.
Why didn't I stop reading after the first chapter? This book focused on a smug, egomaniac who seems to do nothing more than spin her wheels.
Some good insights about war workers, those tireless women volunteers who kept up the good fight back home. This was the first time in WWI that women did such work away from home. Drags a bit, but classic Delafield. One does want to slap Char, but then we all have known so many like her in all kinds of work places.
