"When a girl falls into a deep and impenetrable sleep, the borders between her provincial French village and the peculiar, beguiling realm of her dreams begin to disappear: A fat woman sprouts delicate wings and takes flight; a failed photographer stumbles into the role of pornographer; a beautiful young wife grows to resemble her husband's viol. And in their midst travels Madeleine, the dreamer, who is trying to make sense of her own metamorphosis." "Part fairy tale, part coming-of-age story, this enchanting inventive novel follows Madeleine as she leaves homes, joins a gypsy circus, and falls into an unexpected triangle of desire and love." "Madeleine Is Sleeping is an adventure in the discovery of art, sexuality, community, and the self that transcends both time and place."--BOOK JACKET.
