The Insomniac Society

Viac o knihe

There are five of them. Claire, who sits awake beside a snoring husband and a little boy who is not hers.Jacques, a psychiatrist at the end of his career whose lonely nights are punctuated only by anonymous phone calls.Michele, a retiree whose dark secret compels her out of bed and to church.Lena, a young goth who cannot brave the dawn, volunteering at a local cafe.Herve, a shy accountant who sits in bed, panicking about his job while scrolling through emails into the early hours.They have one thing in common: insomnia. As meetings led by sleep specialist Marie-Helene draw them together, friendships will be formed and confessions made... but will they discover what's keeping them awake? And more importantly: will they be able to get to sleep?
