What Dreams May Come

In 1890s San Francisco, Harold Dartmouth and Weir Penrhyn meet at a dinner party and feel an inexplicable recognition, as if they'd known each other for centuries. Their connection deepens into passionate love, but both are haunted by identically vivid dreams of another life, another time, another love affair. When the truth emerges from their shared visions, it shatters everything they believed about themselves and each other. Atherton weaves gothic atmosphere with radical ideas about love that transcends death itself, exploring whether the souls remembers what the mind forgets. The novel asks: what if the people we're drawn to aren't strangers, but echoes of someone we once were?
