Sleepwalking Review

This too brief (only 207 pages) novel of a conflicted family and the protagonist's eventual recovery was a splendid debut by Julie Myerson. It is part autobiographical (she says that much of what is true of this fictional father was also true of her own). And, it is a spare yet broadly drawn chronicle of the way misery is inherited by succeeding generations.
Our heroine, Susan, survived an unrelentingly painful childhood, but the experience left her "sleepwalking" through life, unable to feel either pain or pleasure. Following her father's suicide, she begins to see ghosts, the phantoms are young boys. It is her dead father returning as the unloved, unwanted boy he once was.
Flashbacks to scenes of her father as an emotionally crippled child help Susan come to terms with his treatment of her, and the depth of feeling for a man she has come to love awakens her to life.
Considering the autobiographical aspects of her story, Myerson writes objectively with an amazing lack of bitterness. Her powers of observation are keen; her candor is admirable; and she tells a story well.
