When Mimi discovered an unconscious bag lady huddled behind a London cinema, a sense of duty prompted her to call an ambulance. Later, she wondered if the tramp, who could have been anybody, might not be somebody after all. Could she be her abandoning mother? Or Bella, a bomb-blast victim?

Excellent!

An excellent story. Simply that. The dream mistress is about sleeping beauty, only in a different touch. Jenny Diksi has created a wonderful new look at what we normaly think, and does so with such skill. One of my very favorite authors, and one of my favorite books. Definately a talent worth knowing/reading.

Engaging, but the ending will infuriate you.

By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Floating sometimes inscrutably between the life of a young clothing designer damaged by her turbulent childhood and the life of an old homeless woman clinging to anonymity, this book develops the reader's curiosity but never delivers. Each of the storylines revolves around a romantic love relationship, and the reader finds herself entwined in the parallel plots despite their occasional obtuseness. Though the ride is entertaining, the climax never materializes and the ending leaves the reader disappointed and bitter.
