Insights from The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing

“He's been talking to a dead woman for hours.”

Thomas seeing ghosts in the garden is more than a medical crisis. It shows how grief makes people see things that are no longer there.

“The smells of her childhood followed her into every corner.”

Aminie keeps her kitchen perfect even when her husband is unraveling. Sometimes staying busy is the only way to keep a family from collapsing.

Aminie and Thomas have a marriage built on keeping secrets to protect the other person. They love each other so much they almost stop speaking.

“If you don't take the picture, it didn't happen.”

Dimple trying to photograph the forest fire captures that exact feeling of watching your life burn. You just want to document the damage as it happens.
