UCR’s Department of English invites you to join acclaimed novelist, Angie
Cruz (@cruzwriter), for a reading and discussion of How Not to Drown in a
Glass of Water (Flatiron Books, 2022). The novel tells the story of Cara
Romero, who 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,
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.
