Believers in Love

Alan Clay

This novel tells the story of a father and daughter team of sand-sculptors, who embark on a crazy adventure from Bondi Beach to a magic mountain in New Zealand, exploring the transient nature of art and life, to discover that dreams are real.

"Believers in Love is a powerfully creative work, with prose that sings like poetry. Beautifully told and evocatively rendered, Believers in Love comes very highly recommended."  See the full review from Wordweaving

Sarah sat at the side of the road, with what looked like the contents of her pockets spread out on a towel before her.
  "What are you doing?" her father asked.
  "I'm fishing for trout," the girl told him.
  The father looked amused, but said nothing, and determined to watch how the game proceeded.
  Soon a passer-by stopped, and asked Sarah the same question.
  "I'm writing a book." she responded.
  Each person who stopped to ask, and the father counted fifteen in about ten minutes, was given a different answer.
  "How many trout have you caught?" he finally asked.
  "About fifteen in the last ten minutes," the girl answered.

"Light and yet profound, this novel is a most unusual find which all will enjoy and savor, long after the last page is turned. Art and living may be treasured repeatedly, but must yield to the next magical moment!"  See the full review from RightLifestyle
