On Shining Wings

What do you do at sixty when the juices are still flowing but everyone treats you like a pensioner Sasha Gilbèrt, Dream Analyst and part-time writer is emerging from her mid-life crisis and hankering for greater adventures. When her sister has an unusual dream, Sasha tries to solve the mystery and sees criminal activity behind it. When the police refuse to act she turns detective and becomes embroiled in bomb plots and crimes of revenge in a Nuclear Power Plant. Escaping from these adventures she becomes involved in Jason Edmundson’s dreams to build a Curling Rink and Museum with his local authority surplus cash.

This is all set against the background of the fall of the Berlin Wall and she reflects on events in her native Czech Republic with her sister Golda who still lives there. Alan Nairn has written a revealing and witty story of the adventures of a dream analyst but there is a serious side to this story – What would happen if we really took our dreams seriously and acted on them?
