Dreaming of France

Winner of the 2017 Blue Light Book Award

Kerry Tepperman Campbell's brilliant debut delves into the imaginations of American women who are fascinated with France. These jewel-like vignettes and prose poems weave their way between an imagined world and a real one. Immersed in luminous moments, the characters find themselves in a series of fully realized French landscapes including a well preserved Roman amphitheater in Provence, a refugee camp in Calais, and Empress Josephine's famous rose garden in Rueil-Malmasion. The reader will be swept away by these seductive vignettes, set in a world where archetypes hover and even small moments become indelible.
