‘Insomnia’ by Sarah Pinborough
I finished this novel in a matter of 3 days. If you liked Sarahâs most well known novel and now tv show âBehind Her Eyesâ, youâll love the twists and turns that âInsomniaâ presents.
Emma canât sleep. She is plagued by paranoia and the feeling of dread associated with her 40th birthday. Her mother went mad at 40 and now Emma cannot let go of the fact that her inability to sleep has her mind and body travelling down the same path.
Her traumatic childhood meant the separation of Emma and her sister Phoebe, from their mothers care. In adult life, Emma seems the be the one who came out on top and overcame the challenges and impacts of her mothers madness ⊠until now.
Her son is terrified of her. Her husband doesnât trust her. Her mother has been murdered in her psychotic unit and Emma was the last to see her. Her sister may be having an affair with her husband. Her teenage daughter is rebelling. Sheâs unable to concentrate at work. Sheâs going mad or is she?
Thanks for sharing, Mel. It’s an intriguing book so I’ll probably read it now I know it exists.
