Soon, residential schools pop up-or are re-opened-across the land to bring in the dreamers and harvest their dreams.” French, aka Frenchie, aka Frances, spent three years traveling across Canada. The government soon finds that the Indigenous people of North America have retained their dreams, an ability rumored to be housed in the very marrow of their bones. Without dreams, people are haunted, sick, mad, unable to rebuild. “Years ago, when plagues and natural disasters killed millions of people, much of the world stopped dreaming.

I've read a number of reviews since finishing this book that all say something like "I liked it but just didn't connect for some reason" or "It's well written but there's something I can't put my finger on". ![]() Conversations feel like another opportunity for the author to show how witty and snarky Mim is.

Herodias persuaded her daughter to ask for John the Baptist's head on a platter. Herod offered his niece a reward of her choice for performing a dance for his guests on his birthday. The dance was also incorporated into Richard Strauss's 1905 opera Salome.Īccording to ten verses of Matthew 14, John was imprisoned for criticizing King Herod Antipas's marriage to Herodias, the former wife of Antipas's half-brother Herod II. The name "Dance of the Seven Veils" originates with the 1893 English translation of Oscar Wilde's 1891 French play Salome in the stage direction "Salome dances the dance of the seven veils". It is an elaboration on the New Testament story of the Feast of Herod and the execution of John the Baptist, which refers to Salome dancing before the king, but does not give the dance a name. The Dance of the Seven Veils is Salome's dance performed before King Herod Antipas, in modern stage, literature and visual arts. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first time you read it, don’t go fast!
