The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing by Mira Jacob

4.0

I learned a lot about Indian (the country) customs, esp the food. Great story about a family that immigrates from India to New Mexico. The family left behind in India is destroyed by a man w/ some kind of sleep disorder, likewise the new American family is also afflicted. The main character, Amina, becomes a professional photographer. Her father, Thomas, a brain surgeon, starts having conversations w/ dead relatives. Kamala, his wife, alerts Amina. They find he has a brain tumor. Somewhat sad at times, this book was also hopeful and humorous. A fine 1st novel!
