â€œA sly, promising and ambitious debut.â€ â€”Publishers Weekly

â€œChloe Benjamin is a great new talent.â€ â€”Lorrie Moore, author of Bark: Stories

Itâ€™s 1998, and Sylvie Patterson, a bookish student at a Northern California boarding school, falls in love with a spirited, elusive classmate named Gabe. Their headmaster, Dr. Adrian Keller, is a charismatic medical researcher who has staked his career on the therapeutic potential of lucid dreaming: By teaching his patients to become conscious during sleep, he helps them to relieve stress and heal from trauma. Over the next six years, Sylvie and Gabe become consumed by Kellerâ€™s work, following him from the redwood forests of Eureka, California, to the enchanting New England coast.

But when an opportunity brings the trio to the Midwest, Sylvie and Gabe stumble into a tangled relationship with their mysterious neighborsâ€”and Sylvie begins to doubt the ethics of Kellerâ€™s research, recognizing the harm that can be wrought under the guise of progress. As she navigates the hazy, permeable boundaries between what is real and what isnâ€™t, who can be trusted and who cannot, Sylvie also faces surprising developments in herself: an unexpected infatuation, growing paranoia, and a new sense of rebellion.

In stirring, elegant prose, Benjaminâ€™s tale exposes the slippery nature of trustâ€”and the immense power of our dreams.
