Review:
"Sleeping Beauties expands a body of work that is eloquent and disturbing, by a writer whose fiction continues to open unexpected doors." (New York Times Book Review)

"She writes scenes that can take you breath away. Susanna Moore sings as sweetly as any writer can." (Los Angeles Times Book Review)

"The best of [her novels]... Dreamlike and painterly, full of the richness of Hawaiian language, customs and legends, and of the sensuousness of Hawaiian landscape." (USA Today)
From the Back Cover:
Susanna Moore's novel is set in a Hawaii whose shimmering beauty and melancholy traditions are at once seductive and dangerously hard to leave. Or so they prove for Clio, a thirteen-year-old runaway who is raised by her eccentric aunt Emma, a collector of legends, myths, and rites of their native island. Emma teaches Clio what it means to 'swim out of the currents of time', to exchange her small past for a grand one. But when that same past begins to take on a crushing weight, Clio on impuse marries a well-known Hollywood actor, providing her with the promise of escape from her family and the entanglements of island life.
