Relation During Books The Hambledown Dream
Australian Denny Banister had it all; a successful career, a passion for the guitar, and Sonya - the love of his life. Tragically, Denny is struck down with inoperable cancer. Andy DeVries has almost nothing; alienated from his family, moving through a dangerous Chicago underworld dealing in drugs, battling addiction while keeping a wavering hold on the only thing that matters to him: a place at a prestigious conservatory for classical guitar in Chicago. As Andy recovers from a near fatal overdose, he is plagued by dreams - memories of a love he has never felt, and a life he's never lived. Driven by the need for redemption and by the love for a woman he's never met, he begins a quest to find her, knowing her only by the memories of a stranger and the dreams of a place called Hambledown...Particularize Books Supposing The Hambledown Dream

The opening relationship between Sonia and Denny seemed too picture perfect but, at the same time, it goes to show just how much Sonia lost when Denny succumbed to the cancer which took him away from her - or so she thought.The Hambledown Dream was unlike any other book I've read, taking me into polar opposite sets of circumstances, in terms of the two major male characters and the lifestyles they led - up to the point where they began merging into one.The characters were real - people we would
I am not good at writing reviews so I won't even try. I just wanted to say that I loved this book! I don't have much time to read these days but I managed to read this in 3 days so I read every spare moment that I could. Now I'm rushing to finish an 8 page paper for school because of it but it was well worth it. Dean's characters made me laugh and cry, sometimes all at the same time. I could relate so much with the main character's life before it was changed (and mine was changed) that it was
Death, rebirth and love set the tone for this compelling novel by Dean Mayes. The gasping moment that Andy dies on the table from a drug overdose will make you pause, but when he is revived and different, you will question.

But Andy begins to gain Denny's memories and with them, the love of Sonya. Will they meet? Can Andy turn
Fantastic book. Looking forward to the next book Dean is working on.
This is the second book of Dean Mayes' that I've read, the first being The Recipient - dealing with organ donation.

This is a book written by an author who is keenly observant and sensitive to the human condition. There were so many passages that gave me pause, in that I was so impressed by what direction the situations led my thoughts. The Hambledown Dream is, at its heart, a love story that is both unique and hugely thought-provoking. A central question drives the novel - what would you be willing to do to get back to the one you loved, the love of your life? As I read I found myself wishing that there was
