You can’t win a race you’re kept from running.

Set amid the cubicles and courtyards of Toronto City Hall, Kimia Eslah’s third novel centers on three women of color navigating labyrinths at work, in love, and in life. Faiza Hosseini is a cutthroat executive with a proven record — she knows she’s enough, but can she circumvent the old boys’ club? Sameera Jahani is passionate about equity, but her girlfriend isn’t — can she bridge this gap, or has she had enough? Goldie Sheer has triumphantly landed her first job, but unexpected work drama makes her question — is she really enough? With grace and insight, Eslah bares three women’s experiences of structural discrimination, from microaggressions to corruption.

Enough is an empathetic missive to anyone working on equity, diversity, and inclusion — in cubicles, courtyards, and countless other spaces.

Trying to change the system from within? You’re gonna have to fight City Hall, and Kimia Eslah shows how it’s done in this no-bullshit novel as she yanks the lid off a workplace of endless meetings and deeply gendered racism. I cheered as her characters parse the shifting meanings of ambition, loyalty, and solidarity played out across generations. This book shows us a slice of the municipal government we’ve got and tantalizes with the municipal government we want. Enough is more than enough!
