Fiction
A provocative and hauntingly powerful debut novel
reminiscent of Sliding Doors, The Bookseller
follows a woman in the 1960s who must reconcile her
reality with the tantalizing alternate world of her
dreams. Nothing is as permanent as it appears . .
. Denver, 1962: Kitty Miller has come to terms
with her unconventional single life. She loves the bookshop
she runs with her best friend, Frieda, and enjoys complete
control over her day-to-day existence. She can come and go
as she pleases, answering to no one. There was a man once, a
doctor named Kevin, but it didn’t quite work out the way
Kitty had hoped. Then the dreams begin. Denver,
1963: Katharyn Andersson is married to Lars, the love of her
life. They have beautiful children, an elegant home, and
good friends. It’s everything Kitty Miller once believed she
wanted—but it only exists when she sleeps. Convinced
that these dreams are simply due to her overactive
imagination, Kitty enjoys her nighttime forays into this
alternate world. But with each visit, the more irresistibly
real Katharyn’s life becomes. Can she choose which life she
wants? If so, what is the cost of staying Kitty, or becoming
Katharyn? As the lines between her worlds begin to
blur, Kitty must figure out what is real and what is
imagined. And how do we know where that boundary lies in our
own lives?
