From the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop, comes a delightful, offbeat, charming and bittersweet tale about the distance one man will travel for the sake of love and friendship.


On his way to meet with his estranged son, hardened ex-war reporter, Henry Skinner, steps into the road and is run down by an oncoming car. In hospital, he floats, comatose, between dreams, reliving the fairytales of his childhood and the secrets he has spent a lifetime trying to escape.

His son, Sam, a thirteen-year old synesthete with an IQ of 144, waits at his father’s bedside. There he meets Eddie Tomlin, an old flame of his father’s, and twelve-year old Madelyn Zeidler, a coma patient like Henri. As these four fight their individual battles, they form a common bond and face the ravages of loss and first love side by side.

A revelatory and urgently human story, THE BOOK OF DREAMS is a tender meditation on memory, empathy, and mortality, asking with grace and gravitas what truly matters when the lives of those we love hang in the balance.
