‘A sensitive woman fearing insanity……’
Fear Dreams is written by American author J.A. Schneider.
A former staffer of Newsweek, Joyce Schneider is the author of the Embryo series of books and the soon to be published ‘Her Last Breath’.
I am delighted to be on tour with Joyce for her new release later in the month with a fab Q & A, but in the meantime here’s my review of Fear Dreams.

‘There are sins or (let us call them as the world calls them) evil memories which are hidden away by man in the darkest places of the heart but they abide there and wait.’
James Joyce, Ulysses, 1922
Now I’m going to honest here and, even though I am Irish, I have never read James Joyce.
The appeal for me with this novel is that The Joyce Girl is primarily about his daughter Lucia. It is also set in Paris in the 1920’s/1930’s, an era, which by now some of you will have realised, I just adore.
When I received my copy from Natalie of Impress Books I was delighted. I knew immediately that the hardest part would be to write a good enough review to justify this absolute genius debut from Annabel Abbs.
‘Who knows if the tales people told me are true or false? I suspect some of them are complete fabrications, others are exaggeration – but perhaps some of them are real.
You can decide.’
