In QUEEN OF DREAMS; Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni once more spins a fresh; spellbinding story of transformation. Rakhi; a young artist and divorced mother living in Berkeley; California; is struggling to keep her footing; with her family and her world in alarming transition. Her mother is a dream-teller; born with the ability to share and interpret the dreams of others; to foresee and guide them through their fates. This gift fascinates Rakhi; but also isolates her from her mother's past in India and the dream world she inhabits; and she longs for something to bring them closer. Caught beneath the burden of her painful secret; Rakhi's solace comes in the discovery; after her mother's death; of her dream journals; which begin to open the long-closed doors to her past. As Rakhi's mother writes 'A dream is a telegram from the hidden world'. In lush elegant prose; Divakaruni has crafted a vivid and enduring dream that reveals hidden truths about the world we live in; from which readers will be reluctant to wake.
