Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.” Nina Godiwalla’s smartly narrated, heavily autobiographical Suits looks at the not-so- noble qualities of this greed as it motivates, lures and tricks the men on Wall Street into surrendering their essential human values at the altar of money, power and prestige.
Nina, a bright Parsi-Indian girl from Houston who has just completed her freshman year in college, arrives in New York City to join JP Morgan as an intern.
