Living Sea of Waking Dreams

In a world of perennial fire and growing extinctions, Anna’s aged mother is dying—if her three children would just allow it. Condemned by their pity to living she increasingly escapes through her hospital window into visions of horror and delight.

When Anna’s finger vanishes and a few months later her knee disappears, Anna too feels the pull of the window. She begins to see that all around her others are similarly vanishing, but no one else notices. All Anna can do is keep her mother alive. But the window keeps opening wider, taking Anna and the reader ever deeper into a strangely beautiful novel about hope and love and orange-bellied parrots.

Intr-o lume cu foc peren si extinctii in crestere, mama in varsta a Anei moare - daca cei trei copii ai ei ar permite acest lucru. Condamnata de mila lor de a trai, ea scapa din ce in ce mai mult prin fereastra spitalului spre viziuni de groaza si incantare. Cand degetul Anna dispare si cateva luni mai tarziu dispare genunchiul ei, Anna simte si ea tragerea ferestrei.
