"Animals dream about the things they do in the day time just like people do. If you want sweet dreams, you've got to live a sweet life." So says Loyd Peregrina, a handsome Apache trainman and latter-day philosopher. But when Codi Noline returns to her hometown, Loyd's advice is painfully out of her reach. Dreamless and at the end of her rope, Codi comes back to Grace, Arizona to confront her past and face her ailing, distant father. What the finds is a town threatened by a silent environmental catastrophe, some startling clues to her own identity, and a man whose view of the world could change the course of her life. Blending flashbacks, dreams, and Native American legends, Animal Dreams is a suspenseful love story and a moving exploration of life's largest commitments. With this work, the acclaimed author of The Bean Trees and Homeland and Other Stories sustains her familiar voice while giving readers her most remarkable book yet.

What a delightful read!
I really got to sympathise with Codi, her past and present life. I kept my fingers crossed for her lovelife - as I clearly had my own opinion of what she should do.
I like books that relate both the present and the past like this one, I always find that you understand the characters better that way. Although whether I really got to know Codi probably is a thing to be argueed...
Anyways, thank you for sharing this book. It is off to Portugal one of these days.
