When Mia was a child she told Asher that the Dreamcloth took away
their nightmares. It is 1994 when Mia finally returns home. A
strong-willed journalist embroiled for the last decade in ravaged
conflict zones; she arrives in Johannesburg to confront a
harrowing, violent human drama that has plagued her family for
three generations. And hidden in her bra, close to heart, is the
Dreamcloth. When Mia finally retrieved the small patchwork cloth of
beads and lace from Asher, the depraved man she believes caused her
father's death a decade ago, she unwittingly regained the only clue
to resolving a expansive tale of wretchedness and anguish that has
haunted her family for decades. The cloth, woven in the 1920s by a
seamstress in a grim shtetl in Lithuania, veils the mystery of a
forbidden love affair that has haunted Mia's paternal grandmother,
Maya, as she fled anti-Semitic Europe and will lead Mia to a
devastating truth beyond her imagining. In Mia's search to
reconnect with the places and people she left behind, she journeys
through her childhood as she makes sense of the injustices of her
world through her relationships with her beloved father, Issey, her
nanny, Sarafina, and best friend, Grace. But the first person she
will have to face is her distant mother, obsessed with the roses in
her perfectly manicured, northern suburbs garden.
