Description of The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker PDF

“The Dreamers: A Novel” is a well written, compassionate and moving dystopian novel. Karen Thompson Walker is the author of this novel. The Dreamers takes the well-known concept of a sudden mass breakout and the subsequent reactions that follow and gives it a slightly different twist. A student suddenly falls asleep and never wakes up. Soon, others fall into a state of seemingly permanent sleep as it becomes apparent the phenomenon is spreading. Before long, an entire town is turned upside down as residents fight for survival amid pandemic fears and forced quarantines.

The story focuses on a diverse group of characters and how they deal with the sudden outbreak and subsequent fallout. This group includes a shy college freshman, a paranoid father and his two young daughters, a professional couple and their newborn daughter and a single mother psychiatrist. There are other key characters as well but these are who the story primarily focuses on. Each character has their own unique challenges to overcome before and during the outbreak. In short, it is a great novel that engages the readers with a powerful story and amazing words.
