A review by coneyboro
The House of Sleep by Jonathan Coe

4.0

The lives of a small group of students, who met while sharing accommodation in a seaside house, are intertwined through a series of coincidences. A story of love and obsession, tender at times with shifting time frames and focus of attention. An interesting use of the stages of sleep as headings for the four parts, with overlapping sentences. Even though, for some characters, there was hope for a happy future, I was left feeling rather sad, but will certainly seek out more stories by this author.
