Queen of Dreams

“Humans spend nearly six years of their lives dreaming—but what if someone could read those dreams?”
In Queen of Dreams by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, that question doesn’t just sit in the background. It drives the entire novel.

This isn’t just a story about mothers and daughters, identity and belonging. It’s about dreams. Literal ones. The ones that visit in sleep, the ones we chase in daylight, and the ones that break us open.

Rakhi, a divorced artist and young mother living in California, finds herself lost—stuck between cultures, between responsibilities, between who she is and who she thinks she should be. And then, she uncovers her mother’s secret life as a dream-interpreter. Not metaphorically. Her mother literally walks through people’s dreams. That’s when things shift. The past and the present blur. And Rakhi’s ordinary world becomes anything but.

Divakaruni’s writing here is lush, poetic, and intimate. One minute you’re grounded in a coffee shop, the next you’re drifting through a surreal dreamscape. But it’s not just beautiful—it’s meaningful. You’ll find yourself pausing mid-page, re-reading a line that hits a little too close to home.

If you’ve ever questioned your roots, struggled to find your voice, or felt caught between two worlds, Queen of Dreams will feel like home—and revelation.
