The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing

by Mira Jacob

Description

When Meena returns to her family home in New Mexico, her father’s disturbing visions draw her into a reckoning with the memories, secrets, and old wounds that have shaped their lives. As the family confronts illness and the uncertainties of the past, Meena is forced to reconsider her Indian American identity, her place within her family, and the stories they have inherited. Spanning cultures and generations, this emotionally rich novel explores love, displacement, memory, and the complicated bonds between parents and children. Lyrical, vividly imagined, and deeply humane, it is a compelling portrait of a family learning how to face the truth together.
