'Beautifully written and compelling' Daily Mail 'Elegant,
atmospheric, sharp-edged . . . The Sleep Watcher is a novel that
obsessed me from the moment I opened the cover' Cal Flyn, author of
Islands of Abandonment When she is sixteen, Kit suffers a summer of
peculiar sleeplessness that isn't quite what it seems. Her body
lies in bed while she wanders through her family home, the streets
of her run-down seaside town and into the houses of friends and
strangers. Unseen and unheard, she witnesses her parents and their
fracturing relationship. Her home thrums with quiet violence that
she can no longer ignore. With this secret knowledge it becomes
impossible not to react and a single choice soon changes
everything. Intimate, tense and exquisitely observed, The Sleep
Watcher is a moving portrait of family, danger and guilt, captured
through the strange summer heat of adolescence. 'The writing is
incredibly beautiful and unbearably tense . . . It is exquisite'
Ruth Gilligan, author of The Butchers 'Rowan Hisayo Buchanan is one
of the most distinctive and luminously original novelists of her
generation' Sharlene Teo, author of Ponti
