Description

What does one do when they know it is their last day of life? Three times a rare animal appeared in Zelma's dreams, and someone from her village died. Now that she has dreamed of it again, will the same happen once more?

Louise, Zelma's granddaughter, sees the people around her changing behavior: buried secrets are revealed and decisions are hastened. In critical moments of her life, her grandmother's dream will also push Louise towards significant decisions.

Mariana Leky (b. Cologne 1973) moves with an unusual story about love, loss, and death, in “a world where every ordinary day might promise something wonderful” (Kirkus).
