The story behind The Dreaming Stone
Dreaming Stone began with a fascination for two persistent enigmas for which convincing explanation continues to elude us all.
This captivating novel fuses two intriguing mysteries into an engrossing tale. The Dreaming Stone tells the story behind the fascination and rich history of the ancient ruins of Khmer civilizations past and the mystery surrounding their construction and ultimate downfall. Across Australia’s vast north, Dreamtime Aboriginal legends persist of golden-skinned visitors with beautiful women, who came, stayed a while, explored, then departed, long before James Cook’s ‘discovery’. The Dreaming Stone explores the possibility of a connection. It also leads the reader to question whether the events described ultimately set the scene for the later tragedy that was Khmer Rouge.
Charlie Khat's search takes him on a journey of self-discovery, as he confronts memories of his boyhood on the Mekong River whilst navigating the dangers of the Australian Outback and confront the looming puzzle of the mysterious Dreaming Stone. This novel is not only captivating but a thought-provoking novel that seamlessly weaves together themes of ancient civilizations, self-discovery, and the search for truth. The richly imagined world and well-drawn characters will leave readers spellbound until the very last page.
