The Living Sea of Waking Dreams
The Living Sea of Waking Dreams
An ember storm of a novel, this is Booker Prize-winning novelist Richard Flanagan at his most moving-and astonishing-best. In a world of perennial fire and growing extinctions, Anna's aged mother is dying-if her three children would just allow it. Condemned by their pity to living she increasingly escapes through her hospital window into visions of horror and delight. When Anna's finger vanishes and a few months later her knee disappears, Anna too feels the pull of the window. She begins to see that all around her others are similarly vanishing, but no one else notices. All Anna can do is keep her mother alive. But the window keeps opening wider, taking Anna and the reader ever deeper into a strangely beautiful novel about hope and love and orange-bellied parrots.

Description
An ember storm of a novel, this is Booker
Prize-winning novelist Richard Flanagan at his most moving-and astonishing-best.
In a world of perennial fire and growing
extinctions, Anna's aged mother is dying-if her three children would just allow
it. Condemned by their pity to living she increasingly escapes through her
hospital window into visions of horror and delight.
When Anna's finger vanishes and a few months
later her knee disappears, Anna too feels the pull of the window. She begins to
see that all around her others are similarly vanishing, but no one else
notices. All Anna can do is keep her mother alive. But the window keeps opening
wider, taking Anna and the reader ever deeper into a strangely beautiful novel
about hope and love and orange-bellied parrots.
