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.
MEDIA REVIEWS
Other Women is a sharp toothed and uncomfortable exposition of recklessness brought about by love and a weakness for beauty. I devoured this hypnotically intimate and vivid portrait of a woman's anger and appetite, - Megan Nolan
My copy of Other Women is full of dog-eared pages and underlined sentences--it's such a special book that I find myself returning to and recommending. Love and cruelty is a dangerous and alluring combination, and Nicola Maye Goldberg writes about it beautifully here. - Chelsea Hodson
Elegant, tactile and heartfelt - Sean Thor Conroe
Obsessive, dark, visionary and brutal, Nicola Maye Goldberg's Other Women is a singular, sensitive portrait of misplaced love in which every detail shines, both harrowing and beautiful. - Allie Rowbottom, author of Jell-O Girls and Aesthetica
Goldberg pairs her 2016 novella with three short works in this impactful volume. Each entry is told from an intimate point of view and showcases Goldberg's pared-down prose. It's a memorable gallery of women on the brink. - Publishers Weekly
