Susan finds her year-old marriage to her husband, Alistair, less than ideal. Just as she contemplates leaving him, she discovers she is pregnant with his child. As she grapples with this news she also learns of her estranged father's suicide. Until now, sleepwalking through life has allowed Susan to bury her wants and feelings and has protected her from dealing with conflict and hurt.
And then she meets Lenny. Instantly attracted to this gentle, seductive painter, yet knowing it could lead to crisis, Susan begins an affair with him in her eighth month of pregnancy.

Review:
"Sleepwalking is exceptionally good... Myerson has made the most pointed comments on parenthood since Philip Larkin" (Sunday Telegraph)
"Julie Myerson...tackles murky themes with grace and clarity. Her prose is nimble and springy. Her short scenes, flicking between past and present, flash before us like a deck of cards shuffled by a top-class conjurer... Myerson is the genuine article" (Independent)
"A measured evocation of bereavement and childhood trauma" (The Sunday Times)
"An impressive literary debut... funny and moving" (Guardian)
"An emotional, delicate, lucid and extremely likeable debut" (Elle)
