A review by songcatchers
The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker
4.75
'A sleeping sickness. That’s what the local reporters are calling it.'
Lightly speculative and deeply mysterious. Set in a town where people start randomly falling asleep and staying that way. It's compelling and suspenseful, waiting to see who will succumb next and under what incongruent or mundane circumstances.
'These are not the brains of ordinary sleepers. These are not the brains of the comatose. These brains are extraordinarily busy.'
