Sarah Gilmartin’s book, Service, is a work of fiction told through two oscillating timelines in Ireland in 2017—during the rise of the #MeToo movement, and, retrospectively, 10 years prior.
Gilmartin skillfully captures the voices of the three primary characters, giving equal time to Daniel, a successful chef who is accused of sexual assault, his wife Julie, and Hannah, who worked as a server at Daniel’s restaurant a decade prior.
I spoke with Sarah Gilmartin about Service, which goes on sale in the US today.
