What if you began to dream
someone else’s life? And what if
this stranger was dreaming yours?
Belief is Catherine’s gift, or it was once. Now, in her
thirties, Catherine knows what she has lost and what
she has survived.
When she arrives in Budapest in winter 1993 to begin
researching a novel on the poet, Attila József, she
starts dreaming the life of a woman imprisoned after
the 1956 Uprising. More disconcertingly, this woma is
dreaming her life in turn.
Obsessed with uncovering the facts, Catherine
discovers that Selene lived through the persecution
of Jews in Hungary during WW2, and that Selene
believed Attila József to be the father of her
daughter, despite the fact that József committed
suicide eighteen years before the child was born.
How do these three lives fit together?
