Women's Fiction
Cara Romero thought she would work at the factory of
little lamps for the rest of her life. But when, in her mid-
50s, she loses her job in the Great Recession, she is forced
back into the job market for the first time in decades. Set
up with a job counselor, Cara instead begins to narrate the
story of her life. Over the course of twelve sessions, Cara
recounts her tempestuous love affairs, her alternately
biting and loving relationships with her neighbor Lulu and
her sister Angela, her struggles with debt, gentrification
and loss, and, eventually, what really happened between her
and her estranged son, Fernando. As Cara confronts her
darkest secrets and regrets, we see a woman buffeted by life
but still full of fight.
Structurally inventive
and emotionally kaleidoscopic, How Not to Drown in a
Glass of Water is Angie Cruz’s most ambitious and
moving novel yet, and Cara is a heroine for the ages.
