Sister of Sleep Cast
When you husband promises you the world…. then gives you sleepless nights. Set in 1980’s Jamaica. Sister of Sleep is a tense domestic drama that explores the collision of ambition, betrayal and survival in a colonial country house overlooking the bustling town of May Pen in Clarendon.
A seemingly successful couple wrestle with the fractures beneath their polished lives. The glamour of beauty and sheen of wealth mask a hollow marriage, poisoned by infidelity, disappointment and secrets. As friends, lovers and rivals weave in and out of their lives, loyalties are tested and secrets unspool. Each character peels back another layer of pretense, revealing the price of power and the cost of denial.
The looming presence of secrets hovers over it all blurring the line between rest, ruin, memory and forgetting, peace and death. Part Caribbean family saga, part thriller, this audiobook asks what we cling to when the dream of love fades, and how far will we go to keep control when everything begins to slip away.
©2024, 2025, 2026 Marilyn Campbell-Fessal (P)2025 Marilyn Campbell-FessalAlthough I have Caribbean roots, I have no real knowledge of what life in 1980s May Pen would have been like, so this book allowed me imagine that world in a thoughtful way.
Overall, I think Sister of Sleep is a strong and dramatic piece that causes the listener to think about people’s feelings, choices and the way things are not always what they seem.
Good for those who enjoy emotional stories with tension, secrets and an interesting twist.
