Critical Praise

"The Passion Dream Book is a thrilling achievement."

——San Francisco Chronicle

"Whitney Otto keeps the promise of her first novel. ... The Passion Dream Book incorporates actual figures and events in its fictionalized world, yet it wears its historical research lightly. ... A rare pleasure."

——Seattle Times

"Otto has created something wonderful - a book about art and ambition that is intelligent, romantic and beguiling."

——The Tennessean

"Exhilarating - much like life itself.."

——Marie Claire
