Olga Dies Dreaming By Xochitl Gonzalez
4th January
Xochitl Gonzalez' debut novel tells the story of Olga Acevedo's life as a Manhattan party planner - a job which has her running ludicrous errands for the luxe-seeking New York elite, and one which seems to be putting her at uncomfortable odds with her Puerto Rican roots. Dissecting familial strife and political corruption against the backdrop of Puerto Rican Brooklyn, Gonzalez chronicles the American Dream with zealous energy, honesty and wit.
