Sleeping Beauties

Susanna Moore

Softcover, 231 pp.

Like her much-acclaimed previous novels, Susanna Moore’s Sleeping Beauties is set in Hawaiʻi, whose shimmering beauty and melancholy traditions are both seductive and dangerously hard to leave. Or so they prove for Clio, who marries a well-known Hollywood actor–providing her with the promise of escape from the entanglements of island life.
