An artist creates a magical room for a young psychiatrist's adopted infant nephew--a room with the heavens projected above and hideaways in the walls. To help him, he recruits a metallurgist haunted by a disturbed upbringing. As the three build this fantastic space, a rewarding friendship unfolds.
... for those who entertain the subversive notion that the gifts with which they entered the world were lost--but may yet be recovered.--Onlineoriginals.com (UK)
This enchanting novella is a delicately wrought homage to Jung's famous principle of meaningful coincidence...--Breakfast All Day, UK
