"The Unity Game" by Leonora Meriel
Leonora Meriel deftly weaves together three separate stories in “The Unity Game,” so that all the characters become a part of the same world. David, a new Wall Street banker, hungers to win the financial game. Money drives him. “He’d made it. They’d all made it . . . on the fast track to power and politics. . . . There was a constant thrill of testosterone around the floor. We’re going to be the super-rich. We’re going to control the financial world. We are winning the game.”
