Carroll, Jonathan: Bathing the Lion

Five residents of a small New England town have exactly the same dream even though one of them is
many miles away on a flight to Europe.   Some of them know each other, some not.   The story
develops almost magically as they eventually learn they have been sent to Earth from elsewhere.
The plot development is anything but straightforward with a strong f surreality pervading it.   Though
as well written as all of Carroll's books have been, I did find this one less gripping and memorable.
It has actually been a few months since I read the novel and I confess its impact has not lasted.
