The House of Sleep

Jonathan Coe

Andrew liked this. Well-written. A ‘two-centre’ book in that it deals with two different periods in the life of a house. In the 80s it is a student house, later it becomes a Sleep Therapy Centre run by one of the students who had lived there. Lots of connections between the two periods. Humour a bit laboured which spoiled it a bit. A guarded recommendation.

Caroline had also read and enjoyed this, though not all of it was convincing. A good depiction of student life.
