HTML:<p><b>"All three narrators are Puerto Rican–born and deliver the Spanish passages with musical grace, thereby enhancing an already fine novel." —<i>The Washington Post</i></b><br /> <b>"The narrators' accents and code-shifting create a vibrant auditory experience. In particular, Guerra's luscious voice conveys Olga's transformation from fighter to a compassionate woman as she overcomes dualities and finds wholeness within herself." <i>– BookPage</i></b><br /> <b>A blazing new talent debuts with the story of a status-driven wedding planner grappling with her absent mother, her glittering career amongst New York's elite and her Puerto Rican roots in the wake of Hurricane Maria.</b><br /> It's 2017, and Olga and her brother, Pedro "Prieto" Acevedo are bold faced names in their hometown of New York. Prieto is a popular Congressman representing their gentrifying, Latinx neighborhood in Brooklyn while Olga is the tony wedding planner for Manhattan's powerbrokers.<br /> Despite their alluring public lives, behind closed doors things are far less rosy. Sure, Olga can orchestrate the love stories of the 1%, but she can't seem to find her own...until she meets Matteo, who forces her to confront the effects of long held family secrets...<br /> Twenty-seven years ago, their mother Blanca, a Young Lord-turned-radical, abandoned her children to advance a militant political cause, leaving them to be raised by their grandmother. Now, with the winds of hurricane season, Blanca has come barreling back into their lives.<br /> Set against the backdrop of New York City in the months surrounding the most devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico's history, Xochitl Gonzalez's <i>Olga Dies Dreaming</i> is a story that examines political corruption, familial strife and the very notion of the American Dream—all while asking what it really means to weather a storm.<br /> <b>A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books</b></p>.
