Spanning India in the 70s to New Mexico in the 80s to Seattle in the 90s, The Sleepwalkers Guide to Dancing is a winning, irreverent debut novel about a family wrestling with its future and its past.When brain surgeon Thomas Eapen decides to cut short a visit to his mothers home in India in 1979, he sets into motion a series of events that will forever haunt him and his wife, Kamala their intellectually precocious son, Akhil and their watchful daughter, Amina. Now, twenty years later, in the heat of a New Mexican summer, Thomas has begun having bizarre conversations with his dead relatives and its up to Amina-a photographer in the midst of her own career crisis-to figure out what is really going on. But getting to the truth is far harder than it seems. From Thomass unwillingness to talk, to Kamalas Born Again convictions, to run-ins with a hospital staff that seems to know much more than they let on, Amina finds herself at the center of a mystery so thick with disasters that to make any headway at all, she has to unravel the familys painful past.
