Paperback. Condición: Good. The acclaimed debut novel of passion and subtlety that links three generations of eccentric, formidable women.   Through the sublimely unreliable voice of its narrator, Karin, Before You Sleep reaches back from present day Oslo to 1930s Brooklyn to relate the emotional legacies of the Blom family.
