The Dreamers

The eagerly awaited new novel from the author of The Age of Miracles. Imagine a world where sleep could trap you, for days, for weeks, months ... A world where you could, even, die of sleep rather than in your sleep. Karen Thompson Walker's second novel is stunning, the story of a Californian town's epidemic of perpetual sleep. ​ Praise for The Age of Miracles: 'A beautifully observed coming-of-age tale in the great American tradition ... nimble, delicate and emotionally sophisticated' Observer 'Hauntingly believable ... an impressive and quietly terrifying book' Sunday Times 'Karen Thompson Walker's debut novel is a stunner from the first page - an end-of-the-world, coming-of-age tale of quiet majesty. I loved this novel and can't wait to see what this remarkable writer will do next' Justin Cronin, author of The Passage
