Es 1998 y a Isabel Rosen, la única hija del dueño de una tienda de aperitivos judíos del Lower East Side, le queda un último semestre en Wilder College, un prestigioso instituto de New Hampshire. Desesperada por deshacerse de sus raíces de clase trabajadora y en medio del luto por la muerte de su madre cuatro años atrás, Isabel siempre se ha sentido como una extraña en Wilder, pero ahora cree que por fin ha encontrado su lugar… hasta que un encuentro sexual sin consentimiento con uno de los únicos estudiantes judíos del campus la deja conmocionada.? Por otro lado, R. H. Connelly, un poeta que alguna vez fue famoso y el profesor de escritura de Isabel, es un hombre con sus propios secretos. Connelly hace que Isabel se sienta querida, hermosa y talentosa: la mujer en la que anhela convertirse. La confianza que deposita en ella enciende una confianza en la propia joven, y ambos se lanzan de cabeza a una aventura amorosa que sacude los cimientos de la vida de Isabel, para bien o para mal. A medida que las vidas de los adultos que la rodean se derrumban poco a poco, Isabel descubre que la línea entre la juventud y la adultez está menos definida de lo que pensaba.? Una historia de autodescubrimiento que transcurre en el contexto del escándalo entre Clinton y Lewinsky. Un retrato oportuno y sabio de una joven que aprende a confiar en su voz y avanza hacia la independencia mientras reconoce la belleza y la valentía de donde procede.?
It’s 1998 and Isabel Rosen, the only daughter of a Lower East Side appetizing store owner, has one semester left at Wilder College, a prestigious school in New Hampshire. Desperate to shed her working-class roots and still mourning the death of her mother four years earlier, Isabel has always felt like an outsider at Wilder but now, in her final semester, she believes she has found her place-until a nonconsensual sexual encounter with one of the only other Jewish students on campus leaves her reeling. Enter R. H. Connelly, a once-famous poet and Isabel’s writing professor, a man with secrets of his own. Connelly makes Isabel feel seen, beautiful, talented: the woman she longs to become. His belief in her ignites a belief in herself, and the two begin an affair that shakes the foundation of who Isabel thinks she is, for better and worse. As the lives of the adults around her slowly come apart, Isabel discovers that the line between youth and adulthood is less defined than she thought. A coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, Daisy Alpert Florin's My Last Innocent Year is a timely and wise portrait of a young woman learning to trust her voice and move toward independence while recognizing the beauty and grit of where she came from.
