Spanning three generations, "Before You Sleep" sparkles with wisdom, acuity and style. As the novel moves from present-day Oslo to 1930s Brooklyn, Ullman tells her story through the voices of the eccentric and formidable women of the Blom Family.
"Before You Sleep" explores the emotional terrain of marriage and motherhood through the eyes of Karin, the novel's wry, witty narrator. It is she who introduces us to her sister Julie, a wife and mother nearly destroyed by her husband's infidelity; their mother Annie, the irresistible seductress; and Aunt Selma, who drinks to stay mean and fries little girls' ears for breakfast.
