Sarah Brannigan's life has fallen to pieces at the age of forty-five. Her fairy tale marriage has ended, her job history has been a downward spiral since 2008, and she's paying way too much rent to live in a tiny room in an apartment that she shares with five roommates. To escape it all, she walks the streets of New York City, seeking out the hidden wonders of the City. And like many before her, she falls in love with Coney Island. Then one day, she falls asleep on a boardwalk bench after a long walk in the hot sun, and she falls into a dream. A dream of that seems to reach into Coney Island's past. A dream of everything she wished for when she was young. A dream whose effects linger even after she's woken up.Soon the dream begins to take over as Sarah uses it again and again to seek escape from her failed life. She's getting everything she ever wanted: youth, love and adventure. But as she goes deeper into the dream, she gets ever closer to nightmare. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I absolutely loved this urban fantasy of New York City, the energy and vivaciousness of the streets--the trains and stations--the markets and vendors--the boardwalk and history of Coney Island--I felt the intensity and desperation, the constant flow and movement. New York City never sleeps.
The life of Sarah Brannigan has hit it's peak years ago, and now at 45, she finds herself divorced, alone and broke. Shes sharing an apartment with 5 others and is about to lose her job.
Sarah begins walking the streets of NYC, ending up in Coney Island. The boardwalks once loud and crowded and full of lights has long been a ghost town. The rides closed, the booths nailed shut long ago. It reminds Sarah of her own life, once full of hope and promise. When she falls asleep on the boardwalk she has dreams of her life as it coulda/shoulda been but the more she dreams of her failed life, the darker becomes the ending until she has nightmares she can't escape. The dreams, once used to escape, now are chasing her...
There is something for everyone in this book.
It is a short quick read, but full of charm and unforgettable dreams. (
