Description
This novel plunges into the surreal landscape of a young girl's inner world as she retreats from a harsh reality into the seductive realm of dreams and fantasy. It is less a story of plot and more an exploration of the language of the night, capturing the essence of sleep and imagination. Through a daring synthesis of memoir and surrealist experimentation, the narrative chronicles a gradual withdrawal from the daylight world, revealing a profound connection to a nocturnal existence that holds its own unique illuminations. The book invites readers to contemplate the unspoken dialect of childhood and dreams, a language often felt but rarely articulated in the waking world.
