Winner of the Writers' Guild Best Fiction Award in England and the Prix Médicis in France, Jonathan Coe's novel follows four students who knew each other in college in the eighties. Sarah is a narcoleptic who has dreams so vivid she mistakes them for real events. Robert has his life changed forever by the misunderstandings that arise from her condition. Terry spends his wakeful nights fueling his obsession with movies. And an increasingly unstable doctor, Gregory, sees sleep as a life-shortening disease which he must eradicate. After ten years, the four reunite in a Gothic cliffside manor being used as a clinic for sleep disorders, discovering that neither love, nor lunacy, nor obsession ever rests.
