Synopsis
Like her much-acclaimed previous novels, Susanna Moore's Sleeping Beauties is set in Hawaii, whose shimmering beauty and melancholy traditions are both seductive and dangerously hard to leave. Or so they prove for Clio, who marries a well-known Hollywood actor—providing her with the promise of escape from the entanglements of island life.
Publishers Weekly
Moore's impressive third novel portrays a Hawaiian ``island girl'' who flees her ancestral home to marry a Hollywood movie star. (Oct.)
