"Sleep" by Honor Jones is a novel about family. It depicts what it means to be a daughter and a mother, including the love, transgressions, and disappointments that can happen in our closest relationships. Margaret is a mother to two young daughters. Recently divorced, she is balancing single motherhood, her relationship with her ex-husband, and the call of a new lover. Margaret is also a daughter who had a fraught relationship with her own mother. Her relationship with her daughters is colored by the pain and trauma that Margaret experienced growing up. This book is honest and unflinching in portraying the realities and vulnerability of both childhood and parenthood. Facing her past is empowering, and in the end this book celebrates Margaret’s capacity for love and acceptance. Thank you to NetGalley and Riverhead books for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
