Experience the
blazing, surreal sensation of a fever
dream...
A
young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy
named David sits beside her. She's not his mother. He's not her
child. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins,
and the power and desperation of family.
Fever
Dream is a nightmare come
to life, a ghost story for the real world, a love story and a
cautionary tale. One of the freshest new voices to come out of the
Spanish language and translated into English for the first time,
Samanta Schweblin creates an aura of strange psychological menace and
otherworldly reality in this absorbing, unsettling, taut novel.
