'The Dallergut Dream Department Store' focuses on Penny who after years of trying gets her dream job at the Dream Department store! The story weaves Penny's life with those of her co-workers, the dream-makers and the dreamers.
I'd heard a lot of good things about Dallergut and it did not disappoint! It was so easy to get lost in the story and the wonderful whimsey of it all. It's so fantastical but they way it's written you just take everything at face value and just know not to question it.
The quiet heartfelt nature of it is simply beautiful. There was a chapter in this book about a pre-order/delivery service for dreams, this allows dreamers to order dreams for their loved ones to be delivered at a different date, I had to put this aside and take a breather. The descriptions of how it feels to have a dream about a loved one you've lost hit far to close to home but were nothing short of stunning.
I'm so excited for number 2 in the series for more of Penny and the wonderful Department store.
