Madeleine Is Sleeping

Sarah Shun-Lien Bynum

Experience the surreal and enchanting world of a young girl's dreams in this captivating novel. As she falls into a deep sleep, the divide between her small French village and the mystical landscape of her dreams blurs.

Amidst this wonder, Madeleine travels, exploring her own transformation as she joins a gypsy circus and becomes entangled in a complicated love triangle.
