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.
