Sleep Pale Sister Joanne Harris 9780060787110 Books

I've read this book many times now... it's funny because the first time through I had to make myself finish it. It was a little hard to read- there are times when it makes your skin crawl. It moved at a rather slow pace at first, so I had to just keep reading. It gets really interesting though- the characters are all so deep. You're disgusted, sympathetic and fond of them at times. By the end, there had been so many different twists that I felt like I had stepped into a different book almost without realizing. If you're interested in this book, get it! It's rough at first but by the end it's completely worth it. It's very dark, but characters like Effie, even though she is the main "victim," really make you examine different angles of the story. Fantastic book!

okay but not memorable
I am a huge fan of Joanne Harris' work. The first book of hers that I read was "5 quarters of the orange" and I LOVED it. I began reading all of the works that I could, which I enjoyed, but they never stood up to 5 Quarters. In "Sleep, Pale Sister" I have finally been able to find that same immersive book experience. I LOVED IT!
I bought this book on the advice of a member of my Tarot group. She said that there were several instances of Tarot readings and such. I'm very grateful that she recommended it because it was a fabulous read!

"Sleep, Pale Sister" is a dreamy drug of a book, an ethereally written Gothic sort of ghost story that had me enthralled for several late nights. Magic, Tarot readings and a nice touch of the supernatural add yummy cayenne to this unique story of the wealthy artist, Henry Chester, and his young model, Effie, who becomes his wife at the tender age of 17, although she became his model many years before. Though Henry keeps Effie drugged with laudanum, she manages to find a cad of a lover in Moses Harper, a rival carpetbagger of a painter who introduces Effie to Fannie Miller, the occult madam of a brothel that Henry visits every Thursday. The characters are excellent as is the engaging plot.

I won't give away any more of the plot, but let me just warn you that this book is not for the faint of heart. Try it, you might like it!!!
I read this book because it was written by Joanne Harris and I have so far like everything written by her. Sleep pale sister is told in narrative by several different characters, with their views on what is happening, which is different from the other characters idea of the situation. It will keep you interested all the way to the end.
Couldn't finish it
If you're looking for her typical formula (the meddling stranger comes to town, fixes everything, happy ending) you won't find it in this book. Although I guess a happy ending can be a matter of perspective. This is a dark, metaphysical tale with multiple puppeteers pulling the strings to get what they desire.
I usually read crime thrillers - this book was different from the beginning but had come recommended by my daughter. Once I started I couldn't wait to get back to it - and there WAS a crime after all. A fabulous and unusual book - give it a try, you won't be disappointed. I now have a friend devouring it too. I will follow up with Joanne Harris' other books to see if she can keep up the good writing.
