DallerGut Dream Department Store is a delightful, imaginative novel offering a fresh take on dreams. It’s a quirky, playful concept with surprisingly thoughtful depth to the story.
What hooked me most was how the story treats dreams as a meaningful part of our emotional lives. Nightmares aren’t just scary, they become tools to face fears and process emotions. The idea of having a glimpse into your future via a dream, as a solution to a creative block, or pre-booking a dream for a loved one to be shared after you pass on, are just so beautifully written and emotionally captivating.
Translator Sandy Joosun Lee said it right when she said you would become a fan of the story the moment you start reading. Of course, the way Shannon Tyo brought Penny and the other characters to life by her narration deserves just as much credit as the translator and the author. These three wonderful women have brought a masterpiece alive for us to cherish.
The next book in the series is out now and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
