Book cover for Undreamed

Undreamed

Alice is trapped in a nightmare.

She leads two lives, both real to her, both flawless, both filled with people that she loves and hates. One of these is a dream. She has no way of knowing which.

A borderline junkie-heiress in Manhattan, or a recovering psych patient in Sydney, when Alice sleeps in one life, she wakes into the other. Other than her own memory of them, her worlds are separate and seamless. In both her lives she tries to find clues to discover the root of her sickness, but nothing crosses over.

One day, all that changes. First in Sydney then Manhattan, Alice meets a girl dressed in green. She knows this girl for what she is: the key to her escape. But as she unravels the girl’s secret, the truth of both lives are undone.

The question is: who is Alice really waking?

Reviews…

“This book blew me away. Its refreshingly imaginative and keeps you guessing at every turn. I was disappointed to see the end of it and look forward to reading more from this talented author.”

 

“I just…. How do you even write a review for a story that leaves you in tears and shaking? Paul Western-Pittard is a magnificent writer. He keeps you guessing to the last chapter.”

 

“A book you won’t forget – very dark and somewhat disturbing, but you won’t be able to put it down. This book stayed with me for quite a while after reading it.”

 

“I will say, I had a very hard time doing anything else while reading this book – including sleeping.”

 

“But for all its darkness, there is light, and a sense of final redemption. I’ll say no more, except to give it a five.”
