The Insomniac Society

De: Gabrielle Levy

Narrado por: Daphne Kouma

Five strangers. Hundreds of sleepless nights.

There are five of them.

Claire, who sits awake beside a snoring husband and a little boy who is not hers.

Jacques, a psychiatrist at the end of his career whose lonely nights are punctuated only by anonymous phone calls.

Michèle, a retiree whose dark secret compels her out of bed and to church.

Lena, a young goth who cannot brave the dawn, volunteering at a local café.

Hervé, a shy accountant who sits in bed, panicking about his job while scrolling through emails into the early hours.

They have one thing in common: insomnia.

As meetings led by Sleep Specialist Marie-Hélène draw them together, friendships will be formed and confessions made...but will they discover what's keeping them awake? And more importantly: will they be able to get to sleep?
