The Living Sea of Waking Dreams (Broché)

Anna's aged mother is dying - if her three children would just allow it. Forced by their pity to stay alive, subjected to increasingly desperate medical interventions, she turns her focus to her hospital window, through which she escapes 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 an eerily beautiful novel about hope, love and orange-bellied parrots.
