The Premonition

by Chris Bohjalian

[kimbacaffeinate]

Shrouded in foreshadowing and laced with supernatural elements this tale introduces us to sleepwalking and premonitions. This is classic Bohjalian, and I cannot wait to crack open Sleepwalker.

Bohjalian gives us glimpses into the life of a young girl who experiences a premonition before a bizarre electrical accident, a mother who does strange things while sleepwalking and an odd little boy who obsesses over medieval times. The author delights in sharing these prequels with us, and I find they wet my palate and prepare me for the main course.

The author also seamlessly shares information about sleepwalking and how it impacts the entire family. He left me wildly curious about Lianna's premonition and the strange young boy.

Cady McClain did an excellent job narrating, and I am almost sorry I didn't wait for the audio of The Sleepwalker.
