New York, late summer, 2000. A party in a spacious Manhattan
apartment, hosted by a wealthy young activist. Dozens of idealistic
twenty-somethings have impassioned conversations over takeout
dumplings and champagne. The evening shines with the heady optimism
of a progressive new millennium. A young man, Ben, meets a young
woman, Kate--and they begin to fall in love.Kate lives with her
head in the clouds, so at first Ben isn't that concerned when she
tells him about the recurring dream she's had since childhood. In
the dream, she's transported to the past, where she lives a second
life as Emilia, the mistress of a nobleman in Elizabethan England.
But for Kate, the dream becomes increasingly real, to the point
where it threatens to overwhelm her life. And soon she's waking
from it to find the world changed--pictures on her wall she doesn't
recognize, new buildings in the neighborhood that have sprung up
overnight. As Kate tries to make sense of what's happening, Ben
worries the woman he's fallen in love with is losing her grip on
reality. Both intoxicating and thought-provoking, The Heavens is a
powerful reminder of the consequences of our actions, a poignant
testament to how the people we love are destined to change, and a
masterful exploration of the power of dreams.
