Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
An experiment investigating sleep and dreams forms the link between two people. One is Soleil Browne, a reserved librarian in contemporary Boston; the other is Shoe Arnett, an abused farm girl in 1930s Ohio. The experiment, which tracks Soleil's dreams, draws her ever deeper into Shoe's world, in which she struggles desperately to help Shoe escape the dangers threatening her. In the meantime, Soleil also has her own difficulties, personal and professional, which interfere with her mission as an unseen voice of counsel to Shoe. LeClaire's taut control of an atmosphere of trepidation assures that there is always a suitably chilling backdrop to this expertly crafted horror novel. Dennis Winters
From Kirkus Reviews
The author of Grace Point (1992) here crafts an exquisite novel of suspense and redemption. After a transient childhood with a single mother, Soleil has created an orderly life in her humble but cozy Boston apartment and her job as a museum librarian. Now, in September 1993, her aged mother lies unconscious after a stroke. Soleil starts losing sleep at night, which makes her the perfect, if reluctant, candidate for Dreamscape, an exhibit at the museum that requires her to sleep on display as her brain waves are translated into a light show and musical composition. The scientist monitoring her sleep patterns happens to be Soleil's former lover, Andy, who becomes alarmed by her unusually lengthy dream stages. In fact, she is not dreaming but time traveling to rural Fortune Groves, Ohio, in the summer of 1932. There she observes Shoe, a girl who has been horribly disfigured in an accident, lost both her parents, and been separated from her beloved brother, Thomas. Now Shoe is being stalked by the town mogul, whose terrible secret she knows. Back in modern-day Boston, Soleil's midwestern-born mother has shown some response listening to stories of her dreams, and Soleil is in danger from the Sweetheart Strangler, a serial killer whose progress she follows casually in the newspapers. Graced by LeClaire's compassion, the mechanism of time travel never becomes too far-fetched, but instead creates the opportunity for readers to be moved by the heartaches of Soleil and Shoe and by the healing they achieve through their encounters. LeClaire imbues her characters with such dignity that no situation into which they fall seems absurd. She transcends science fiction and suspense genre elements to craft a story of gentle souls who attain enlightenment. The only disappointment is Soleil's relationship with Andy, strictly a dime-store romance. Surprisingly stirring. -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

This book has stayed with me for a long time . . .
2. Juli 1999
Format:Taschenbuch
I just reread Sideshow and it affected me more than ever. The way that Anne LeClaire intertwines the past and the present is haunting, a little bit disturbing and ultimately very very satisfying. Not only do I recommend that you read it--I recommend that you hang on to this book and read it again and pass it on. I hope this author writes another book soon!
