Sinossi
La libreria di Ella, a York, in Inghilterra, è piccola, ma accogliente. Un luogo in cui rifugiarsi e cercare riparo dalle tempeste della vita. Almeno finché Ella non comincia a fare strani, oscuri sogni e non scopre che sono identici a quelli della madre, trasferitasi in California, dove ha aperto una boutique di abiti vintage. Separate da un oceano eppure unite da qualcosa d’invisibile e potentissimo, madre e figlia provano a dare un senso a quelle immagini che le tormentano e si convincono che esso si trovi nel passato: sia in quello che le circonda, fatto di pagine e di stoffe, sia nelle loro comuni, dolorose esperienze. Così si affidano al Libro dei sogni di Miss Mary, un antico, prezioso diario, e alla saggezza della nonna di Ella, che arriva da molto lontano per aiutare la figlia e la nipote. Perché la strada del destino è spesso tortuosa, ma, quando incrocia quella della verità, rende la vita una pagina bianca su cui scrivere il proprio futuro.

Ella runs a book shop while taking care of her daughter most days and has started to feel restless. I didn't even know this was supposed to be a sequel apparently but I don't think it took away from the book, you can read this on it's own. The writing was good but I just don't think the plot was. I
Thank you Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book. I didn't realize when I requested an advance copy of this book that it was the second book in a trilogy (my bad), and although I can say that this can be a stand-alone book, I think perhaps I would have enjoyed it more (and would have felt more o Leggi tutto
I read Sophie Nicholls first novel, The Dress, and loved it. So I pounced on the sequel, but with a little apprehension – I’ve read so many sequels that were a let-down. But The Dream didn’t disappoint. Iranian Fabbia and her half-Italian daughter Ella still had a lot of story to tell, and I finally Leggi tutto
This was an enjoyable read although at times I kind of zoned out. It just didn't hold my interest as much as I thought it would. At the beginning of each chapter, there was a spell from Miss Mary's book of dreams. So Miss Mary is basically a book, not a character in the book. I enjoyed the magical p Leggi tutto
Didn't realise this was second in a series. Will come back to if I can get my hands on book one to read first
Thanks to netgalley for the preview. I've expected a different story, a story in which books had a more imporant role. The protagonist, in fact, runs a bookstore, so everything suggest that the novel would be set there. The bookstore is there, and it is also a very cozy place where at the customer is Leggi tutto
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. I rated this a 3 on here but I'm wavering in the 2.5 to 2.75 range. I really enjoyed Sophie's writing style. I just wish the plot didn't feel so average and chaotic at times. The premise was great and
