This story is a smorgasbord of sub-plots. There are adults suffering from childhood abandoned, the AIDs epidemic, Puerto Rican independence, US politics, closeted homosexuality, romance and hoarding (to name a few). It ALMOST works together…but not fully.Olga’s emotional journey is fascinating and the author writes her story beautifully. The book was structured nicely and I liked how the past was interwoven with the present. The characters are complex and flawed and the relationship dynamics work well throughout. I also really enjoyed learning more about Puerto Rico and how much injustice the country has faced. From what I can tell, the author remains factual in her discussion of the political issues going on in Puerto Rico even though the book itself is fiction.There were two niggles that kept this from being a 5-star read…The underlying political vibes occasionally became so prevalent they disrupted the flow of the story. As I’ve said before, if I wanted a political agenda, I’d turn on the news. Secondly, the author seemed confused…as if she couldn’t quite decide if the book was a light-hearted romance or a serious political and economic commentary. The plots awkwardly vacillates between the two genres. This “genre confusion” causes the story to feel slightly muddled and lacking in focusDespite my criticism, I enjoyed the book and recommend to those who enjoy learning about other cultures! Olga Dies Dreaming ePUB PDF Download epub I liked writing style of this book and thought the character had a lot of depth. It was like a political thriller/ romance with generational trauma all roped in. I took off a star because the ending had me wanting more. I’ll be watching for this author in the future though. PDF Olga Dies Dreaming download ebook online I was blown away by this book. It’s a riveting story with amazing characters which also tells a tale of Puerto Rico and US neocolonialism. I just adored Olga. I found her mother to be monstrous, and I did not find it totally credible that Olga and her brother, after being abandoned and periodically manipulated by their mother, did not have an epiphany earlier. Instead they kept trying to gain her approval and love. I appreciate that the mother’s letters to them filled in the historical and political backstory of Puerto Rico but I found the letters too pedantic and preachy. Although I did love the book I had to take several long breaks from reading it. Anyway, in conclusion I do highly recommend this book. ePUB Olga Dies Dreaming leggi epub This year I wanted to read more books by Puerto Rican writers. I am glad I chose this one first. I was able to relate to Olga character. This is a really good read. It definitely gets you thinking about what's going on in PR. But also offers a love story, family and just trying to live the American dream but not letting go of your Puerto Rican roots.

I also learned a lot about Puerto Rico.
