Wild about a Wild Dream – Biography of a Woman
Literary Fiction
A poetic record
Far from home, a woman meets a Catalan writer and has an affair with him. This shakes everything to its core—not just her relationship with her husband, but also the way she thinks about her profession. The experience leads her to make a risky decision: to be true to herself and live the rest of her life as a writer. But does this mean she can she still be present for other people, including her husband and children? Years later, having reached another tipping point in her life, she meets the Catalan writer again, bringing the past and present full circle. Sometimes the memory of love can be more intense than the love itself. In this novel, Julia Schoch sets the seal on her extraordinary trilogy.
