Review: A novel that surprised me.

Maria Savva engages me on so many levels. I love how she observes her characters, and sometimes even makes them seem annoying. 'The Dream' is an excellent example of following a character almost too closely. Lynne is forever dwelling on the same emotions and doubts - but that is a clever key to the entire tale. When I found what all the repetition meant, I was elated; to complete Lynne's journey it was vital to understand her - and I believe I did.'The Dream' is an expertly crafted 'What if?' and not every choice will lead in a different direction at all. Sometimes we arrive at a place, as Lynne did, because it was just meant to be.
