The Dream Daughter: A Novel

By: Diane Chamberlain

Rating: 4 of 5

I have read only a few of Diane Chamberlain’s books and have enjoyed each of them. However, the beginning of “The Dream Daughter” contained enough technological and social anachronisms in a certain time period, it threw me off while reading the novel.

Once the author got beyond her descriptions of that time period and concentrated more on the story, I was able to settle in and enjoy the book for the fantasy escape feel-good novel that it is.

It is rather difficult to review this book with contextual reference without giving away quite a bit of the plot. Suffice to say that Carly, the main character would do anything to save and then help her daughter.

The ending (though not the epilogue) came as a bit of a surprise to me. It was a good ending and one that will stay with me for a while. Once the ending was in place, the epilogue was easy to foretell. Knowing what was going to happen did not, in any way, decrease my enjoyment of it.

I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
