Last Fiesta by Andy Rumbold
A slyly subversive bildungsroman about misplaced love, by the author of the lauded novel Nothing Can Hurt You After dropping out of college, a young woman wanders through New York both invisible and vulnerable, studying the city's strong magic and longing for a man she knows will never love her back. Salvation appears to arrive when Charlotte Herzfeld, the young wife of a successful businessman, hires her as a live-in nanny to accompany the family on a trip to Berlin. As the Herzfelds begin to crack under the weight of their secrets, she finds herself in a more precarious position than ever before. Reflective yet propulsive, and told in a voice both ingenuous and insightful, Other Women is a timeless and all-too-relatable tale of unwise decisions and unfortunate fixations. This volume includes three new short stories and an introduction from Megan Nolan.
The moment you start this book you will be hookedThe characters grow on you like friends and the revelations and plot twists force you to keep turning the pages. You just know that something dark and terrible is about to happen and the further you go the darker it becomes. This is a stunning debut novel and I cannot overstate how impressed I am. Andrew Crofts
