The Dream Lover: A Novel

Written by Elizabeth Berg

Narrated by Emily Sutton-Smith

A passionate and powerful novel based on the scandalous life of the French novelist George Sand, her famous lovers, untraditional Parisian lifestyle, and bestselling novels in Paris during the 1830s and 40s

This major departure for bestseller Berg is for listeners of Nancy Horan and Elizabeth Gilbert.

George Sand was a 19th century French novelist known not only for her novels but even more for her scandalous behavior. After leaving her estranged husband, Sand moved to Paris where she wrote, wore men’s clothing, smoked cigars, and had love affairs with famous men and an actress named Marie. In an era of incredible artistic talent, Sand was the most famous female writer of her time. Her lovers and friends included Frederic Chopin, Gustave Flaubert, Franz Liszt, Eugene Delacroix, Victor Hugo, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and more.

In a major departure, Elizabeth Berg has created a gorgeous novel about the life of George Sand, written in luminous prose, with exquisite insight into the heart and mind of a woman who was considered the most passionate and gifted genius of her time.

Reviews for The Dream Lover

[Mariam Shah-Rais · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed this book. Written in the voice of George Sand, this book is beautifully and cleverly written with remarkable and well researched insights into the heart and mind of the celebrated novelist. It is the story of a unique, courageous woman who defied the confines of society and the traditional role ascribed to her gender.
