Summary:
"
Sally
will die in Europe this summer. George Orr dreamed that his girlfriend,
Sally
Wodehouse, would die on the trip she wanted to take, and he begged her not to go. But
Sally
did not take him seriously--how could she? She left for Europe in July 1968 with twenty-five other private-school kids, on "The Odyssey," a Sixties version of the Grand Tour. In August 1968, two days after becoming engaged to George via telegram, she died as he had dreamed she would, in a freak accident.
Sally
was George's
first
love
, but she was also James FitzGerald's. James
first
met
Sally
at a family cottage; he was drawn to her energy and warmth, a stunning contrast to the chilly emotional life of his own family. At seventeen, not exactly a hit with the girls, James was delighted when he realized that he'd be spending the summer with his old friend. And soon, even though he knew that
Sally
had a serious boyfriend back home, they became inseparable, touring the glories of Western culture by day, dancing and drinking the nights away--giddily unshackled from the expectations and requirements of their class and upbringing. To George and James, both sons of parents who knew how to make demands of their children but not how to
love
them,
Sally
represented all the optimism and promised freedom of the '60s. Her
death
has haunted both men for fifty years--arresting their development, miring them in grief and unreasoning guilt.
Dreaming
Sally
is an exploration of the
long
shadow left by an eighteen-year-old girl, an uncanny
story
of
first
love
,
sudden
death
and the complexity of trauma and mourning."--From publisher.
