[...] the editors succeed not only in offering us more insight into complex processes of sense making in organizations. Their book also presents different ways to analyze empirical data to such organizational processes in organizations by using narrative approaches.

This is a truly fascinating book, a rich tapestry of interwoven lines of argument which take as their point of departure the organizing qualities of narrative and reach a destination in the narrative qualities of organizing. There are many real gems in this collection, and different readers will discover many different insights that challenge them, intrigue them and enchant them. This is a book that will immediately appeal to people who are both lovers of narratives and scholars of organizations.
