    About the book: 2005 / "Amaryllis Day and Night" takes the reader on a search for the hidden sources of love, on a magical journey along the roads of dreams and memories. Successful London artist Peter Diggs delves into the dreams and secret life of Amaryllis, a mysterious and beautiful woman who is in some inexplicable way connected to a tragedy that befell him in the distant past. Trying to understand the strange relationship that is developing between them, Peter becomes more and more entangled in the intricacies of dreams and reality, until finally love gives him the strength to “pass through himself” and find himself in the soul of his beloved. The author seems to encourage this complex story of transformation to emerge from the mists of fantasy into reality: incredible events and paradoxical accidents, fears and ghosts of the past and premonitions of future changes are woven into a shimmering, enchanting fabric of an unusual narrative.
