The Cure for Sleep
From Shelf: @JanetEmson asks "I've still not chosen a new book so that's tonight's job. What's everyone reading this weekend?" Twitter answered:
This is a memoir with the quality of fable: inviting us, however late in life, to wake up and step out of the confines we have made for ourselves.
'Moving and inspiring, courageous and true: real art. Just reading her is pleasure' Amy Liptrot, author of The OutrunJust days into motherhood, a woman begins dying. Fast and without warning.On return from near-death, Tanya Shadrick vows to stop sleepwalking through life. To take more risks, like the characters in the fairy tales she loved as a small girl, before loss and fear had her retreat into routine and daydreams.Around the care of young children, she starts to play with the shape and scale of her days: to stray from the path, get lost in the woods, make bargains with strangers. As she moves beyond her respectable roles as worker, wife and mother in a small town, Tanya learns what it takes - and costs - to break the spell of longing for love, approval, safety, rescue.
