Ebook {Epub PDF} Strangers with the Same Dream by Alison Pick

Strangers with the Same Dream. In her long-awaited novel, her first since the Man Booker–nominated Far to Go, Alison Pick takes us to a lost time and place that still vividly haunts our present day. Writing with exquisite control, Pick leads us inside the minds and hearts of three extraordinary, awed and very human characters to show us exactly how, in the crucible of a would-be utopia, the unthinkable happens. Pick deftly plumbs the cruel irony of the Jewish settlers, forced from their own homes, failing to recognize the rights and roots of their Palestinian neighbours. Strangers with the Same Dream is narrated by a ghost – whose identity is a mystery at the outset – meant to function like a Greek chorus of one. She warns us that her whole story begins with a lie, and asks, “What does a ghost want?”Estimated Reading Time: 5 mins. Writing with tightly controlled intensity, Alison Pick takes us inside the minds of her vastly different characters--two young unmarried women, one plain and one beautiful, escaping peril in Russia and Europe; one older man, a charismatic group leader who is married with two children; and his wife, Hannah, who understands all too well the dark side of "equality"--to show us how idealism quickly /5(9).

In "Strangers with the Same Dream" by former Man Booker nominee Alison Pick, the first error appears on page 2. “Sewn” instead of “sown.” Not so much a typo as a mistaken homonym. Which makes it odd. Is Pick a closet Shavian? (GBS had somewhat idiosyncratic spelling, in particular writing “shew” for “show.”) Likely not.
