HTML:<b>"This electrifying novel of love, creativity and madness moves between Elizabethan England and 21st-century New York." —<i>The Guardian</i></b><br /> <b>A <i>New York Times</i> Notable Book of the Year</b><br /> New York, late summer, 2000. A party in a spacious Manhattan apartment, hosted by a wealthy young activist. Dozens of idealistic twenty-somethings have impassioned conversations over takeout dumplings and champagne. The evening shines with the heady optimism of a progressive new millennium. A young man, Ben, meets a young woman, Kate—and they begin to fall in love.<br /> Kate lives with her head in the clouds, so at first Ben isn't that concerned when she tells him about the recurring dream she's had since childhood. In the dream, she's transported to the past, where she lives a second life as Emilia, the mistress of a nobleman in Elizabethan England. But for Kate, the dream becomes increasingly real, to the point where it threatens to overwhelm her life. And soon she's waking from it to find the world changed—pictures on her wall she doesn't recognize, new buildings in the neighborhood that have sprung up overnight. As Kate tries to make sense of what's happening, Ben worries the woman he's fallen in love with is losing her grip on reality.<br /> Both intoxicating and thought-provoking, <i>The Heavens</i> is a powerful reminder of the consequences of our actions, a poignant testament to how the people we love are destined to change, and a masterful exploration of the power of dreams.<br /> <b>"Heady and elegant." —<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b><br /> <b>"A complex, unmissable work from a writer who deserves wide acclaim." —<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review)</b>.
