Produktbeschreibung

Dream Time by Sarah Starr is a unique spiritual mystery that connects the lives of the modern-day Australians with Aborigines and colonizers from 1788. It is the 1970's when Rachel takes a gap-year from university in Australia. Her life in England is out of reach while she recalls childhood conflicts with her family. Stranded at the monsoon end of the continent she tries to study but her life soon becomes like a nightmare. Trapped with her memories she dreams of escape. She learns how the ancient Aborigines lived a secret dream in harmony with nature and the Earth. But old scores are waiting to be settled and it could be Rachel who has to pay them. Will she discover why she has been led to this strange new world? She meets Luke and finds her ancestral link to the past, and how a whole culture was betrayed. Is her destiny cursed, or will miracles happen if she follows her dream?

Autorenporträt

To sit down and write a book is not always down to cold choice but rather a compulsion or urge that generates from within. Sometimes on a soul level, one is required to follow this need to get an idea onto paper. So it was for my story.

At ten I was sent to a school which had a bookcase in the classroom. The first book I picked out was an abridged edition of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. The words flew out from the page as I read the first chapter in a blur of fear and excitement. After this I read the abridged version of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. The suspense was overwhelming! Sucked into the pages I only had to look up to know I was in the safety of the classroom. I was hooked! And I knew then I wanted to write.

During my teenage years I scored my best marks in English, but I found study difficult. It was supposed I had Dyslexia but this was never diagnosed, so I continued to struggle with my studies. I trained to become a nurse and worked for the NHS for 7 years. In my late 20's I moved to Australia but returned to England 4 years later. A further 6 years after that I was able to work part-time. This created space I could use for writing, but I wanted to write a novel. I was out of practice, slow and awkward. I didn't have a plot, but knew I wanted to write about Australia. I attended a writers group for a few terms which helped my low confidence. And bit by bit I let the story evolve. It came from within, took many years and needed countless changes, but I loved every minute of its creation. That story is Dream Time.
