A QUILT OF DREAMS is a passionate novel of change and a top pick for public libraries seeking someth

A QUILT OF DREAMS is set in South Africa during the final days of apartheid and succeeds in bringing the nation's political and social concerns to light in vivid color. Here two very different strangers find their lives entwined by the events shaking their nation: one an alcoholic white man, the other the young daughter of a black activist. Violence and change permeates their lives and affects their dreams, and while it seems unlikely their very different pasts and perspectives - and griefs -will prompt an encounter much less healing, it's the sweeping changes affecting their country which will lead them to each other and some surprising revelations. A QUILT OF DREAMS is a passionate novel of change and a top pick for public libraries seeking something compellingly different. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
