Long description
White Knights tells the tale of Emma Cooper, an ambitious young investment banker who leaves her family in London and her long-time love in Africa to make her millions on Wall Street. There she finds that corporate finance is far less glamorous, and the Big Apple far more rotten, than she ever expected. Investment banking turns out to be a ruthless and political man's world where women need to work twice as hard to get half as far... and not even sleeping with the boss will get you a rung higher on the corporate ladder. Through a series of obstacles and epiphanies, Emma eventually has to face herself, decide how far she is prepared to compromise and choose the life she really wants.
