Dream Your Animal Dreams

Beschreibung

A haunting, visionary novel that entwines the personal with the global in a tale of dreams, survival, and transformationEva, a neurologist specializing in sleep, retreats to the isolated marshlands of the Camargue with her eight-year-old daughter Lucie, to protect them both from a violent man and a world that appears to be unraveling. At first their retreat appears idyllic. Then, one night, Lucie wakes in tears after a disturbing dream.

At the same time, children all over the world cry out in their sleep-a phenomenon that quickly ripples into waking life, heralding inexplicable calamities, harbingers of ancient plagues. Between the whispering reeds and the ever-watchful horizon, Eva faces the narrow frontier between waking and dreaming. Martinez blends myth and psychological insight to explore how collective dreams might be messages from a beleaguered planet.

Structurally bold and emotionally potent, the novel addresses themes of motherhood, violence, ecological collapse, and the universal search for meaning in chaos.
