In QUEEN OF DREAMS, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni once more spins a fresh, spellbinding story of transformation.
Rakhi, a young artist and divorced mother living in Berkeley, California, is struggling to keep her footing, with her family and her world in alarming transition. Her mother is a dream-teller, born with the ability to share and interpret the dreams of others, to foresee and guide them through their fates. This gift fascinates Rakhi, but also isolates her from her mother's past in India and the dream world she inhabits, and she longs for something to bring them closer. Caught beneath the burden of her painful secret, Rakhi's solace comes in the discovery, after her mother's death, of her dream journals, which begin to open the long-closed doors to her past. As Rakhi's mother writes 'A dream is a telegram from the hidden world'.
In lush elegant prose, Divakaruni has crafted a vivid and enduring dream that reveals hidden truths about the world we live in, from which readers will be reluctant to wake.

Review:
"Will resonate with anyone who has struggled with modern love, mores and parenthood." --USA Today"Enchants as much with its flashes of fancy as it does with its fresh spin on cultural identity, family, and redemption." --Entertainment Weekly"Divakaruni's book shines . . . in its examination of the subtle, extrasensory connections between mothers and daughters that continue to develop even after death divides them."--Los Angeles Times"Magical. . . . In lyrical, poetic prose, Divakaruni manages to be hopeful without offering false reassurances, showing how identity--both individual and communal--is equally shaped by loss and creation." --San Francisco Chronicle"A masala of page-turning addiction." --The Baltimore Sun
