Description
Sleepwalking, the debut novel from Meg Wolitzer, is a story of three college students' shared fascination with poetry and death. The three women, known for their affinity with the work and suicide of different poets, meet in secret to read aloud their heroines' work. At the centre of this group is Claire, a sensitive and struggling student who is deeply absorbed in the work of Lucy Asher, a writer who took her own life at 24.
When Claire becomes embroiled in an affair with an upperclassman, she is forced to confront the extent to which her 'death girl' identity is a part of who she is. As she grapples with her feelings for her lover and her own understanding of herself, Claire takes drastic measures to uncover the truth about herself that she has been avoiding for years.
This thought-provoking novel explores the complexities of identity, obsession and the human need for connection. With its unique blend of poetry, relationships and self-discovery, Sleepwalking is a compelling and deeply human story that will resonate with readers.
