Another excellent novel by Zola. The first ever book I picked up of his was Therese Raquin, which was by far one of the best books I had read in a long time and it made me want to read all the other Zola's books. I started with The Dream, I found this a very compelling book, with the combination of the saints descriptions and the almost fairy-tale like love story, it almost felt as if I was emersed in a dream-like world. This book definately is one of the best zola novels, which holds all the characteristic Zola features but is original yet discorncerning in a way.
