Written in luminous prose, The Dreamers is a breathtaking and beautiful novel, startling and provocative, about the possibilities contained within a human life if only we are awakened to them. Two sisters turn to each other for comfort as their survivalist father prepares for disaster. A young couple tries to protect their newborn baby as the once-quiet streets descend into chaos. When a second girl falls asleep, and then a third, panic takes hold of the college and spreads to the town. Neither can the paramedics, nor the perplexed doctors at the hospital. She sleeps through the morning, into the evening. One night in an isolated college town in the hills of Southern California, a first-year student stumbles into her room and falls asleep. Karen Thompson Walker's second novel tells the mesmerising story of a town transformed by a mystery illness that locks people in perpetual sleep and triggers extraordinary, life-altering dreams. She looks like an ordinary girl sleeping ordinary sleep.
She sleeps through sunset.Īnd yet, in those first few hours, the doctors can find nothing else wrong. Imagine a world where sleep could trap you, for days, for weeks, for months… 'Thought-provoking and profound' Cosmopolitan
