'Magnificent' - Annie Ernaux, Nobel Prize-winning author of The Years'Supremely skillful' - The Telegraph'One of the best books I've read in a long time' - i-DFrance, 1981. A small rural village is gripped by an epidemic of heroin usage. Désiré, once the pride of the family, has become one of its many 'sleeping children', found slumped, unconscious, in the street. Against all odds, Désiré's family desperately try to save him from the lure of addiction as his life descends into chaos.But something else lingers on the horizon, approaching fast. Far away in Paris, alarm bells are ringing. A race across the globe is beginning, urgent to make sense of a deadly new virus, one that will come to define a generation. But within the statistics, documents and landmarks lie the tragic stories of families torn apart, never told, fading slowly into obscurity.Here, then, is the story of Désiré.Anthony Passeron's debut novel is a passionate attempt to reclaim these narratives, both personal and national; exploring the lives of the heroic few who fought for a cure for AIDs, and finding justice for an abandoned community. Fascinating, angry, deeply moving and utterly unforgettable, Sleeping Children is a novel about two deadly races against time - to find a cure for a disease, and to rescue a family from the jaws of the past. Translated from the French by Frank Wynne.

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. 'Without ever raising your voice, you have shattered the family silence that scabbed over tragedy and produced a work so powerful, so moving that it lingers long after reading. Magnificent' - Annie Ernaux, Nobel Prize winning author of The YearsIt is 1981. As a wave of puzzling medical cases sweeps across the US, a Parisian doctor is presented with a rare case of a disease long thought to be eradicated. It marks the beginning of a race on both sides of the Atlantic to make sense of a deadly virus that will define a generation.Miles away in rural France, Anthony Passeron's family are dealing with a crisis of their own. Their small village is gripped by another epidemic - heroin addiction. Anthony's uncle Désiré, once the pride of the family, has become one of its many 'sleeping children'. Often found unconscious on street corners, he is a stranger to his family. As Désiré's life descends into chaos, the thunder of the AIDS crisis grows closer. These two stories - one intimate, one global - are about to collide.For readers of Édouard Louis, Douglas Stuart and Annie Ernaux, Sleeping Children by Anthony Passeron is a moving and eye-opening book about shame and the slow poisoning of a family by the secrets it keeps. Exploring the stories of the heroic few who fought for a cure for AIDs and for justice for a community abandoned, it is a radical vision of a history reshaped, retold and remembered.Translated from the French by Frank Wynne.

Aggiungi al carrellopaperback. Condizione: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
