About this listen
The New York Times best seller, soon to be a major film produced by Julia Roberts
A provocative and hauntingly powerful debut novel reminiscent of Sliding Doors, The Bookseller follows a woman in the 1960s who must reconcile her reality with the tantalising alternate world of her dreams. Nothing is as permanent as it appears....
Denver, 1962. Kitty Miller has come to terms with her unconventional single life. She loves the bookshop she runs with her best friend, Frieda, and enjoys complete control over her day-to-day existence. Then the dreams begin.
Denver, 1963. Katharyn Andersson is married to Lars, the love of her life. They have beautiful children, an elegant home, and good friends. It's everything Kitty Miller once believed she wanted - but it exists only when she sleeps.
Convinced that these dreams are simply due to her overactive imagination, Kitty enjoys her nighttime forays into this alternate world. But with each visit, the more irresistibly real Katharyn's life becomes. Can she choose which life she wants? If so, what is the cost of staying Kitty or becoming Katharyn?
A hauntingly powerful novel that freshly considers the timeless question: 'what if?'
©2015 Cynthia Swanson (P)2015 Blackstone Audio IncCritic reviews
"Swanson's debut novel is slightly mysterious and thoroughly engrossing, one of those books that will stay with the reader long after it is complete." (Romantic Times)
"The novel delivers on its fantasy scenario like a modern-day fairy tale... proves highly satisfying." (USA Today)
"Dexterously traversing past and present, fact and fiction, Swanson's clever first novel ingeniously explores the inventive ways the human spirit copes with trauma." (Booklist)
