Resumen del Editor
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.

Historia
Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (1839-1908) was the greatest writer ever to come from Brazil and one of the masters of nineteenth-century fiction. Susan Sontag calls him "the greatest writer ever produced in Latin America", surpassing even Borges. Harold Bloom says that Machado is "the supreme black literary artist to date". And Allen Ginsburg calls him "another Kafka". And The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas is his masterpiece, a dazzling, tragic, and profound novel that belongs next to the greatest works of his contemporaries Melville and Dostoevsky.

Still Happy is Elizabeth's second collection of Facebook posts. Her first, Make Someone Happy, did indeed make many people happy, and so, due to popular demand, she has put together a second volume, which includes "The Book of Homer", a tribute to her beloved dog who recently died. Still Happy, like Make Someone Happy, exemplifies Berg's gift, as the Boston Globe said, "in her ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the remarkable in the everyday."

Her first, Make Someone Happy, did indeed make many people happy, and so, due to popular demand, she has put together a second volume, which includes "The Book of Homer", a tribute to her beloved dog who recently died. Still Happy, like Make Someone Happy, exemplifies Berg's gift, as the Boston Globe said, "in her ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the remarkable in the everyday."

In this new novel, beloved best-selling author Elizabeth Berg weaves a beautifully written and richly resonant story of a mother and daughter in emotional transit. Helen Ames - recently widowed, coping with loss and grief, unable to do the work that has always sustained her - is beginning to depend far too much on her 27-year-old daughter, Tessa, and is meddling in her life, offering unsolicited and unwelcome advice. Helen’s problems are compounded by her shocking discovery that her mild-mannered and loyal husband was apparently leading a double life.

Historia
Elizabeth Berg’s father was an Army veteran who was a tough man in every way but one: He showed a great deal of love and tenderness to his wife. Berg describes her parents’ marriage as a romance that lasted for nearly 70 years; she grew up watching her father kiss her mother upon leaving home, and kiss her again the instant he came back. His idea of when he should spend time away from her was never. But then her father developed Alzheimer’s disease, and her parents were forced to leave the home they loved and move into a facility that could offer them help.

Happy to Be Here is Berg's third collection of Facebook posts. Her first, Make Someone Happy, was written in response to her many fans' requests that she put her posts together in a book that they could take on the plane, to the beach, or give to others. The book did indeed make people happy and so she followed up with a second book, Still Happy. Her fans encouraged her to write still another one. The Happy books exemplify, as the Boston Globe wrote, Berg's "ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the remarkable in the everyday."

In this superb collection of short stories, Elizabeth Berg takes us into pivotal moments in the lives of women, when memories and events come together to create a sense of coherence, understanding, and change. In “Ordinary Life,” Mavis McPherson locks herself in the bathroom for a week, shutting out her husband and the realities of their life together — and, no, she isn’t contemplating a divorce. She just needs some time to think, to take stock of her life, and to arrive, finally, at a surprising conclusion.

Amazing book
I recently had the pleasure of reading "The Dream Lover" and I can't help but overflow with joy as I write this review. This book is an absolute gem that effortlessly transports you into a world of enchantment and imagination.
From the very first page, I was captivated by the beautifully woven narrative and the vivid descriptions that painted a picture so clear, it felt like I was right there alongside the characters. The author's ability to bring historical figures to life is truly remarkable, and I found myself completely immersed in the story.
"The Dream Lover" is a celebration of love, passion, and the pursuit of one's dreams. The protagonist's journey is filled with ups and downs, triumphs and heartbreaks, and it resonated with me on a deep emotional level. The way the author explores themes of identity, self-discovery, and the complexities of relationships is both thought-provoking and inspiring.
What truly sets this book apart is the author's lyrical and evocative writing style. Each sentence is crafted with such care and attention to detail that it feels like a work of art. The prose flows effortlessly, making it a joy to read and lose oneself in the pages.
"The Dream Lover" is a true masterpiece that will stay with me long after I've turned the final page. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and the beauty of the human spirit. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone seeking a spellbinding tale that will leave them feeling uplifted and inspired.

Just can't get through it
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I usually love Elizabeth Berg but try as I might, I cannot get through this book. My mind wanders, I had trouble keeping track of the characters and the era. I restarted the book from the beginning 3 times and still I can't get through it. Perhaps I will try it in print.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Couldn't get to it.
Was The Dream Lover worth the listening time?
No

Well written, but the story was boring
I think the title of this book should be "From the frying pan into the fire" or "Looking for love in all the wrong places". I was exhausted reading about all the various love affairs and bad choices made. It did not inspire me to read any of George Sand's books. but I do like Elizabeth Berg. She is a good writer. that's the reason I gave this book a four. She couldn't help it that the subject's life was so dismal. I applaud her for trying to make it interesting.

George Sands of Dream Lover-Bold and Beautiful
I did not know of George Sands. Now I have listened and been taken alongside her life. The story just flowed and unfolded. It was warmly narrated as I felt the teller was relating the quite emboldened woman's antics just to me. Quite a story! I enjoyed knowing about her relationship to Frederick Chopin.

Elizabeth Berg writes Another Winner
This is not Elizabeth Berg's regular style but I loved it as I have loved everything she has written. I listened to most of it and read a little. The Audible version is outstanding.

Better than I expected from other comments.
I read critical reviews about the narrator, but the story was in first person about George Sand, who described herself in the book as having a flat and unemotional voice. I decided the narrative was perfect for the character.

A Worthy Few of an Artist
I devoured this book. I haven't read Sand's books, but I've been intrigued by her for a long time. I'm practically devout on Chopin, so it was interesting to read her side of the story.
This was a well done, imaginative look into how it all could have happened, I felt like a fly on the wall. This book is an excellent example of show / don't tell. Glad I didn't wait too long to read it.
Even today, I see women hesitating, holding back, doing and saying what is "expected" rather than what is in their hearts, simply because they are afraid. I'm astounded and amazed at Sand's bravery. I'm in love with the French, yet again. They completely embraced her. And the author clearly gets the inner turmoil of the writer/ artist. Oh to have been in that set, and to write to that music live.
I'm not much of a Balzac fan, but Hugo is near the top of my list. Guess I need to read Sand to see if what they say is true.
