Set in the 1960's, The Dream Room is the story of a family's dissolution as witnessed through the eyes of twelve-year-old David. An only child fascinated by the culinary arts, he is content to spend time with his mother and father, an unemployed ex-World War II pilot. One rainy summer, the family works together building model airplanes for a toy shop -- their only means of survival. Times are difficult, but David has never felt so secure. But his peace is soon shattered by an old family friend, whose appearance will destroy everything David holds most dear.
Intelligent and philosophical, The Dream Room is an entrancing family history, love story, and fairy tale to be savored.
