Other Women: And Other Stories
ByPublisher Description
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. She thinks she finds salvation when Charlotte Herzfeld, the young wife of a successful businessman, hires her as a live-in nanny to accompany the family on their 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. Both thoughtful and restrained, Goldberg’s prose examines the painful obsession that so often accompanies the confusing lust of youth.

“Woah, what a debut!
I think this really captures what it’s like to a be woman in your early years right after high school when you’re still figuring out who you are as a person and as a woman. I believe this will really resonate with many young women, especially if their frontal lobes have recently been developed or have been developed. It’s just that you can clearly see how these characters are so young and being taken advantage of and we’ve all been young and done things to get noticed by others.
I really enjoyed the first short story and genuinely think it could’ve been a novel because lord knows if done and felt the same about a boy who could not have cared less. That one hurt. The author does a phenomenal job in bringing the reader into that mindset that the character is in, whether it be 20 years old, 18 years old, etc.
Thank you to Verso Books publishing for the ARC.”
