Über Olga Dies Dreaming

'The sharpest and best written social comedy in a while' Los Angeles Times'A rich, full-bodied saga'Financial TimesIt's 2017, and Olga and her brother, Pedro "Prieto" Acevedo, are bold-faced names in New York City society: Prieto is a popular congressman representing their gentrifying Brooklyn neighbourhood; Olga is the wedding planner to Manhattan's richest and most demanding clientele. But the glamorous hoopla conceals a darker reality. Years ago Olga and Prieto's mother abandoned her children to join a radical political organization fighting for the liberation of Puerto Rico. Now, in the wake of the most devastating hurricane in that island's history, Blanca has come barrelling back into her children's lives. Olga Dies Dreaming examines the very notion of the American dream, and how - or if - it can weather a storm like this one.
