Lots of women think the man who will make them happy and satisfied is \u201csomething\u201d that happens ONLY in dreams. And if you meet him, what exactly would happen in reality? Bridget Foley in his debut novel \u2013 <i>Hugo and Rose<\/i> \u2013 responds with a story hued pink and noir.<\/p>\n<p>The real and the imaginary for Rose have no boundaries. With Hugo coming in her real life, the two realities will mingle together: usually it is in the dream world where she feels better\u2013 more beautiful, more solar \u2013 and where she meets Hugo, a young and adventurous boy; that\u2019s where her <i>alter ego<\/i> lives fantastic version of its existence. Rose\u2019s real life is the dream that comes true every night, for about thirty years, on the island of Hugo between pink beaches and a mysterious Castle Town to reach. Who is Rose every morning when she wakes up? A woman who met Josh, the father of her three children, at the college and finds herself stuck in life as a mother and housewife. But if Hugo really existed? The protagonist must choose.<\/p>\n<p>The author offers an alternative of being \u201cmodern wonder women\u201d. You may be a woman who dreams of a beautiful life and you feel frustrated by the real one until you regret it (and later you feel silly for this reason).\u00a0Dreams might not be the best alternative. Maybe is it our real life the dream itself? \u00a0It\u2019s up to us to try to figure out which way we really want our world to be.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Time of reading:<\/strong>\u00a0<i>Pordenone-Rome A\/R trip<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12257\" src=\"http:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_2.jpg\" alt=\"Hugo e le Rose_2\" width=\"850\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_2.jpg 850w, https:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_2-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_2-330x217.jpg 330w, https:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_2-690x453.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12259\" src=\"http:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_3.jpg\" alt=\"Hugo e le Rose_3\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_3.jpg 850w, https:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_3-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_3-296x197.jpg 296w, https:\/\/test.theeatculture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Hugo-e-le-Rose_3-690x460.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photography: Sara Cartelli<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a9 The Eat Culture<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The man OF my dreams or IN my dreams?
