cover:
The Sleepwalker... By day, Petra Flint is a talented jeweller working in a lively London studio. By night, she sleepwalks. She has 40 carats of the world's rarest gemstone under her mattress but it's the skeletons in her closet that make it difficult for her to rest.

The insomniac... Forsaking a rock-and-roll lifestyle for the moors of North Yorkshire, Arlo Savidge teaches music at a remote boys' boarding school. But, like Petra, ghosts from his past disturb his sleep.

Putting the past to bed... Petra and Arlo were teenage sweethearts. Now, years later, in a tiny sweet shop, they stand before each other once more. Could this be their second chance?

Because we know that books shouldn't travel alone.

One of a multitude of books received today.

Better than I had expected. The bits about jewellery making were interesting

Pulled this out of the Aus Bookbag. Because it's not a thriller/ mystery type novel. And even fluff has its place :)

I actually quite enjoyed this book. Pretty standard romance - boy and girl meet, fall in love, break up over misunderstanding, get back together - but quite engaging for all that. I enjoyed the jewellery making processes and the musical references, but wasn't quite sold on the reason for the sleepwalking when they finally nutted it out.

Left under a shelter out the front of the Ormiston Gorge Kiosk. Enjoy!

I actually caught this book on a bench near Ormiston Gorge, West MacDonnell Ranges National Park. I didn't expect to love this book so much! I'm so glad I found it and can now set it free in Belgium!
