Some keep a sleeping journal, others swear by sleep drops. Insomnia keeps a large part of humanity busy. Eliza lives in Norway and works for the Institute of Insomnia on an investigation of the relationship between insomnia and partner choice. After her boyfriend breaks up with her, we follow Eliza in her sleepless stupor through Norway, Taiwan and the Netherlands in search of a safe haven. As her nights get shorter, the boundaries between her life and the investigation begin to fade.

In this enchanting debut novel, Ananda Serné brings her readers into a dreamlike state; what is reality, and where does it end? Night Bloomers is a fascinating meditation on the connection between nature and humanity, between sleeping and dreaming, and between anchoring and freedom.
