Shore: The Ultimate Descent by Asma Jan Muhammad delves into the struggles of Olive, a young accountant who challenges the lack of transparency within an international professional club in the United States.

Olive and her friends push for fairness and accountability but are met with resistance from a patriarchal system that dismisses women’s involvement in important decisions.

Despite support from junior members, Olive faces an uphill battle as she fights for change and integrity in a corrupt and male-dominated environment.

Her journey to the top exposes the exhausting and deep-rooted malice that threatens to break even the most honest individuals. This powerful narrative reflects themes of gender equality, institutional corruption, and personal resilience, making it a thought-provoking read.
