The hauntingly beautiful tale of a mysterious sleeping disease that ravages a small college town.
•
The sickness starts in the college’s dorm. A young woman, six weeks into her freshman year, falls asleep and won’t wake up. The disease spreads quickly from there. The Dreamers follows several different people in the town as their lives are overturned by the sickness. Who will succumb to the long sleep? What is happening during the sleep? And will they ever wake up?
•
The Dreamers is such a fantastic piece of fiction. Walker’s writing is dreamy and descriptive, and her use of omniscient third-person narration provides valuable information about the sickness’s effects on its victims and the town’s inhabitants. You’ll be so intrigued by the origin and anatomy of the sickness, but the story is about so much more - perseverance in times of crisis, sacrifice and love for your family, and the powerful nature of dreams. I highly recommend this incredibly beautifully written novel.
