Christina, the haunting woman from Lucien's mysterious past, resurfaces. Old and ailing in the late 1930s, Irish poet W.B. Yeats finds himself inexplicably documenting a strangely impressionistic dream (in which Christina appeared) in a letter he knows will never reach its recipient: Lucien, an enigmatic man Yeats recalls from his youth. Now librarian to the Dreaming, Lucien once found love in the beautiful Christina's arms-only to lose it in an unspeakable tragedy. MATURE READERS
