Dream Angus

Divine Angus might grant you sight of your true love in a dream; you might even fall in love with him – but he’ll never love you back. He’s too busy making mischief, until he is trapped by his own romantic games and falls for an unattainable woman, doomed to seek her forever. In 20th century Scotland, Angus’s troubled alter ego searches for his true family; a psychotherapist who helps people understand their dreams, his life seems to parallel that of his mythic namesake. Mesmerically weaving together the tales of the Celtic god and the Scottish scientist, Alexander McCall Smith unites dream and reality, leaving us to wonder: what is life, but the pursuit of our dreams?
