Why read it?
1 author picked Marianne Dreams as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A survival book list should definitely contain at least one treasure from your childhood. This one never left me and it’s a book I return to for its haunting, beautiful, disturbing depiction of Marianne, the little girl who dreams what she draws. Battling against a mysterious, unnamed illness, she escapes from the daily monotony by drawing a house, and a boy, and some sentinel stones. Slowly, this dreamworld becomes her reality.

From Olivia's list on to survive desert islands, life, and everything.
