I began OLGA DIES DREAMING back in February and lost the opportunity to finish it when I had to return it to the library. On a flight home, I took the chance to complete it and I'm so glad I saw it through. It's an ambitious novel, and I'm not sure it hits every mark, but it has a lot of heart and that I applaud. That this is González' debut just has me excited to see what else she has up her sleeve (!).
Graphic: Death of parent, Grief, Death, Homophobia, Abandonment, and Colonisation
Moderate: Cursing, War, Racism, Rape, and Infidelity
