A story of daring to dream, daring to love, and daring to embrace the changes that can transform us in unexpected ways.
Join writer Pim Wangtechawat, a writer from Thailand. Her first novel, The Moon Represents My Heart, was published in 2023, and she now presents I Dreamed of You, her magical sophomore novel.
Two students arrive in Edinburgh full of hopes and dreams...and secrets.
Dao and Sunny both grow up in Bangkok, but that's where the similarities between the two end. Dao's family are well-off and worldly, full of ambition for their daughter. Sunny's father, meanwhile, wants only for his son to take over the small hardware shop he runs and stop causing trouble. When both are offered the opportunity to come to Edinburgh, Dao to study photography, Sunny to work for his aunt, they jump at the chance.
But Dao has a secret. Whatever she dreams turns into reality around her. Gift, power or curse: she doesn't know, but when she meets Sunny and recognises him from one of her dreams, she begins to wonder. Might her new friendship turn into something more? Or is her faith in her dreams sending her down a path she'd be better to leave unexplored...
Pim will be interviewed by Alice (A.Y. Chao), the Sunday Times bestselling author of Shanghai Immortal, whose sequel, Paris Celestial, is to be published this March.
Explore the magic of friendship and first love, what it means to leave home and find yourself abroad, and how dreams—literal and metaphorical—shape the paths we choose and the people we become.
"A story of daring to dream, daring to love, and daring to embrace the changes that can transform us in unexpected way. I will always look forward to reading Pim's stories." Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai
