About the Book
Weaving a compelling narrative across two eras, Cranes Over Smog takes the reader through the tumultuous world of high-stakes business, where the lines between success, sacrifice and morality blur.
Written in humor and sarcasm, the story offers a gripping realistic portrayal of the reality of managing a major company during a historic economic crisis and to the cost of ambition. An array of vibrant individuals, a talkative cat and bursting financial and technological bubbles, serve as catalyst for the protagonist's transformation, forcing her to confront core values and redefine success.

What Readers Say
I think it’s really inspiring how Dalit Rachel Braun talks about her experience as a woman in a field that has mostly been dominated by men, like real estate. It’s not easy for women to succeed in industries where they often face extra challenges just because of their gender, or just being a woman. Braun had to work harder to prove herself and find ways to be taken seriously, which many women can relate to. I believe it’s a struggle that a lot of women face, trying to carve out their own space in sectors where the opportunities for them are either limited or conditioned by stereotypes and expectations.
What I find impressive is how she found strategies to overcome the barriers. This shows a lot of strength and determination. Her story can motivate other women who want to break into male-dominated fields, showing them that it’s possible with persistence and the right mindset. It’s a reminder that while the journey might be harder, the achievements are even more rewarding when they come after overcoming such obstacles.
Cranes Over Smog by Dalit Rachel Braun is classified as a literature and fiction type of book. This story definitely is very immersive and introspective. If you are someone who enjoys really thinking deeply and reflecting on what your read, then this one will definitely get your mind going. This aspect of the story I really liked but other parts of it I found a little too much for where my mind wanted to go explore. But overall, very engaging and thought-provoking.
Cranes Over Smog by Dalit Rachel Braun is a stunning exploration of life’s complexities. Through the protagonist’s escape from corporate chaos to remote solitude, the story reflects on ambition, identity, and the quest for true meaning.
The author’s vivid descriptions and heartfelt prose create a world that feels both raw and relatable. Braun challenges readers to question the sacrifices made for success and the value of personal fulfillment in a fast-paced, modern society.
This book is perfect for those craving a deeply introspective and emotional read. It’s a touching reminder to pause, reflect, and reconsider what truly matters in life. Highly recommended.
