Other Women

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. What people are saying about OTHER WOMEN: Goldberg's Other Women is blooming and elegant. She weaves careful intimacies within her story telling and paints true and sometimes painful portraits of greenness and womanhood. --Sara Sutterlin, author of BABY and I WANTED TO BE THE KNIFE In a voice that is just as powerful as it is vulnerable, Other Women perfectly captures what it is like to be young, bright and sensitive, while finding yourself in love with the wrong person. --Juliet Escoria, author of WITCH HUNT and BLACK CLOUD
