Elizabeth Berg
A passionate and powerful novel based on the scandalous life of the French novelist George Sand, her famous lovers, untraditional Parisian lifestyle, and bestselling novels in Paris during the 1830s and 40s.
This major departure for bestseller Berg is for listeners of Nancy Horan and Elizabeth Gilbert.
George Sand was a 19th century French novelist known not only for her novels but even more for her scandalous behavior. After leaving her estranged husband, Sand moved to Paris where she wrote, wore men's clothing, smoked cigars, and had love affairs with famous men and an actress named Marie. In an era of incredible artistic talent, Sand was the most famous female writer of her time. Her lovers and friends included Frederic Chopin, Gustave Flaubert, Franz Liszt, Eugene Delacroix, Victor Hugo, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and more.
In a major departure, Elizabeth Berg has created a gorgeous novel about the life of George Sand, written in luminous prose, with exquisite insight into the heart and mind of a woman who was considered the most passionate and gifted genius of her time.

From the very first page, I was captivated by the beautifully woven narrative and the vivid descriptions that painted a picture so clear, it felt like I was right there alongside the characters. The author's ability to bring historical figures to life is truly remarkable, and I found myself completely immersed in the story.
"The Dream Lover" is a celebration of love, passion, and the pursuit of one's dreams. The protagonist's journey is filled with ups and downs, triumphs and heartbreaks, and it resonated with me on a deep emotional level. The way the author explores themes of identity, self-discovery, and the complexities of relationships is both thought-provoking and inspiring.
What truly sets this book apart is the author's lyrical and evocative writing style. Each sentence is crafted with such care and attention to detail that it feels like a work of art. The prose flows effortlessly, making it a joy to read and lose oneself in the pages.
"The Dream Lover" is a true masterpiece that will stay with me long after I've turned the final page. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and the beauty of the human spirit. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone seeking a spellbinding tale that will leave them feeling uplifted and inspired.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I usually love Elizabeth Berg but try as I might, I cannot get through this book. My mind wanders, I had trouble keeping track of the characters and the era. I restarted the book from the beginning 3 times and still I can't get through it. Perhaps I will try it in print.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Couldn't get to it.Was The Dream Lover worth the listening time?
NoJust can't get through it

I devoured this book. I haven't read Sand's books, but I've been intrigued by her for a long time. I'm practically devout on Chopin, so it was interesting to read her side of the story.
This was a well done, imaginative look into how it all could have happened, I felt like a fly on the wall. This book is an excellent example of show / don't tell. Glad I didn't wait too long to read it.
Even today, I see women hesitating, holding back, doing and saying what is "expected" rather than what is in their hearts, simply because they are afraid. I'm astounded and amazed at Sand's bravery. I'm in love with the French, yet again. They completely embraced her. And the author clearly gets the inner turmoil of the writer/ artist. Oh to have been in that set, and to write to that music live.
I'm not much of a Balzac fan, but Hugo is near the top of my list. Guess I need to read Sand to see if what they say is true.
