The Cure for Dreaming Audiobook

Quotes

• “Winters creates a rich, gothic backdrop (further brought to life through period photographs and illustrations) for a story that will open many readers’ eyes to historical injustices inflicted on women—injustices with plenty of present-day parallels.”

  — Publishers Weekly

• “Winters continues to be a refreshing, incisive talent with a unique perspective.”

  — Booklist

• “A strong female protagonist, realistic dialogue, and well-written prose allow readers to become immersed in Olivia’s rather unique (and sometimes frightening) world.”

  — School Library Journal

• “Fluid boundaries between what’s tangible and what’s intuited, lucidity and unconsciousness, sanity and madness are particularly apt for this story about hypnotism and emotional manipulation.”

  — Horn Book magazine

• “Readers will cheer as Olivia strikes out on her own, finally free of her father’s control.”

  — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Book

• “The story is infused with dramatic tension once Olivia is hypnotized, and the tension is held until the end of the book…Will appeal to readers of historical fiction, as well as readers who appreciate horror novels.”

  — VOYA

• “The early-1900s era is nicely portrayed, and the societal limits placed on Olivia are both daunting and realistic. A really malevolent dentist is amply creepy, and Olivia’s father’s threat believably pervades the tale, maximizing the suspense…[A] gripping, atmospheric story of mind control and self-determination.”
