Summary
Olaf Olafsson: Just one step from a dream Just one step from a dream is a touching love story that crosses the borders of continents and a tense drama on the edge of the mystery of life and death, a poignant story about memory, identity and family disharmony, a novel of unforgettable strength and timeless wisdom. In his new novel, Olaf Olafsson, an author who has so far received only praise from critics, brings an intimate and powerful story about a New York neurologist and three women who shaped his life - his mother, an unfulfilled pianist who finally achieves success after decades of disappointment, his fiancee - a mysterious ballerina whose premature death he is desperately trying to unravel, and a mysterious patient who was left in a coma after a serious accident. These are the three women who breathe life into Olafsson's brilliantly written novel. They are the thread that connects this story as the protagonist experiences relationships full of compromise and misunderstanding, guilt and forgiveness, in an effort to understand and be understood, to love and be loved.
