An ordinary town is transformed by a mysterious illness that triggers perpetual sleep in this mesmerizing novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Age of Miracles."This book is stunning."-Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station ElevenOne night in an isolated college town in the hills of Southern California, a first-year student stumbles into her dorm room, falls asleep-and doesn't wake up. She sleeps through the morning, into the evening. Her roommate, Mei, cannot rouse her. Neither can the paramedics, nor the perplexed doctors at the hospital. When a second girl falls asleep, and then a third, Mei finds herself thrust together with an eccentric classmate as panic takes hold of the college and spreads to the town. A young couple tries to protect their newborn baby as the once-quiet streets descend into chaos. Two sisters turn to each other for comfort as their survivalist father prepares for disaster.Those affected by the illness, doctors discover, are displaying unusual levels of brain activity, higher than has ever been recorded before. They are dreaming heightened dreams-but of what?Written in luminous prose, The Dreamers is a breathtaking and beautiful novel, startling and provocative, about the possibilities contained within a human life-if only we are awakened to them.Advance praise for The Dreamers"Frighteningly powerful, beautiful, and uncanny, The Dreamers is a love story and also a horror story-a symphonic achievement, alternating intimate moments with a panoramic capture of a crisis in progress."-Karen Russell, author of Vampires in the Lemon Grove"A modern Midsummer Night's Dream . . . In this wonderful novel, Walker paints a haunting canvas exploring time, memory, consciousness, and youth."-Marisha Pessl, author of Night Film"What a book! I read The Dreamers in a dream of sorts myself, entirely transported into Karen Thompson Walker's world of mysterious tragedy and infinite, if unexpected, compassion. This is a profound novel, and a deeply moving one. How she takes a terrifying situation and reveals it as a thing of beauty, a lesson in the human spirit, is a mystery to me, but she does exactly that, and fortunate readers will celebrate this extraordinary book."-Robin Black, author of Life Drawing

[a] bold reflection on American history, African American resilience, and the human capacity for love and perseverance in the face of soul-crushing madness. The Washington Post A history told with brilliance and tenderness and fearlessness. Jill Lepore, author of These Truths: A History of the United StatesIn 1850s South Carolina, an enslaved woman named Rose faced a crisis, the imminent sale of her daughter Ashley. Thinking quickly, she packed a cotton bag with a few precious items as a token of love and to try to ensure Ashley s survival. Soon after, the nine-year-old girl was separated from her mother and sold.Decades later, Ashley s granddaughter Ruth embroidered this family history on the bag in spare yet haunting language including Rose s wish that It be filled with my Love always. Ruth s sewn words, the reason we remember Ashley s sack today, evoke a sweeping family story of loss and of love passed down through generations. Now, in this illuminating, deeply moving book inspired by Rose s gift to Ashley, historian Tiya Miles carefully unearths these women s faint presence in archival records to follow the paths of their lives and the lives of so many women like them to write a singular and revelatory history of the experience of slavery, and the uncertain freedom afterward, in the United States.The search to uncover this history is part of the story itself. For where the historical record falls short of capturing Rose s, Ashley s, and Ruth s full lives, Miles turns to objects and to art as equally important sources, assembling a chorus of women s and families stories and critiquing the scant archives that for decades have overlooked so many. The contents of Ashley s sack a tattered dress, handfuls of pecans, a braid of hair, my Love always are eloquent evidence of the lives these women lived. As she follows Ashley s journey, Miles metaphorically unpacks the bag, deepening its emotional resonance and exploring the meanings and significance of everything it contained.All That She Carried is a poignant story of resilience and of love passed down through generations of women against steep odds. It honors the creativity and fierce resourcefulness of people who preserved family ties even when official systems refused to do so, and it serves as a visionary illustration of how to reconstruct and recount their stories today.
