Ma per Rose questa vita ordinaria è messa in ombra dalla sua altra vita, quella che vive ogni notte nei suoi sogni. Da bambina, in seguito a un incidente, ha iniziato a sognare una meravigliosa isola ricca di avventure. Su quest’isola non è mai stata sola: c’è sempre Hugo, un ragazzo coraggioso che cresce assieme a lei negli anni fino a diventare il suo eroe. Ma quando con loro grande sorpresa i due si incontrano nel mondo reale dovranno scegliere cosa fare del loro rapporto: restare amici? Diventare qualcosa di più? Oppure continuare a vivere avventure solo nei sogni senza le incognite della realtà? Il loro casuale incontro dà il via a una cascata di domande, bugie e una pericolosa ossessione che minaccia di rovesciare il mondo di Rose. Lei vorrà veramente perdere tutto ciò che le è caro per capire lo straordinario rapporto che li unisce? Sorretto da un’immaginazione vibrante e da una scrittura poetica, Hugo e Rose è un romanzo che resterà impresso a lungo nella mente dei lettori.
