From the acclaimed author of Kissing Through a Pane of Glass comes an outstanding novel of dreams and desire, a fascinating exploration of guilt and wish-fulfilment – and the very real dangers of having your dreams come true.
Daniel's work as a photo-journalist has taken him all around the world. But following a serious accident in which a colleague is killed, his injuries – both mental and physical – prevent him from going much further than the end of the street. Depression, anxiety and horrendous nightmares plague him for months, and neither doctors nor friends – nor even his lovely wife Lisanne – seem able to do anything for him.
Then in a moment of reprieve, Daniel wakes from a dream unlike any other he has ever experienced – a wondrous dream which take hims back night after night to the blissfully idyllic Greek village of Atheenaton.

But when Daniel's requests to extend his stay are refused, and his questions continue to be ignored, he begins to suspect that Atheenaton may not be the paradise it seems after all, but something altogether more sinister...
