Author Description

"The boundaries between appearance and reality are blurred to The Dreaming Girl, a traveler who has a brief affair with a man known only as the German. In this short novel, her imagined world becomes as real as the jungles of Belize where, in her fantasies, she denies the otherness of the German. With extraordinary simplicity, Roberta Allen lays bare the illusions we live by when we deny the irreducible other."--BOOK JACKET.
