Praise for Milena Agus: 'An impressionistic and mysterious narrative' New Yorker 'Pure passion in an enclosed (emotional and physical) space' Los Angeles Times 'A lush, haunting portrait' Kirkus 'A powerful combination of magical realism and psychological astuteness' Sydney Morning Herald

The Sevilla Mendoza family, long-time residents of the Sardinian coast, are not quite what you'd call 'conventional'. At the heart of the family is a girl in the throes of a dangerous affair with a married man. With a nervous mother, a dreamer for a father and an obsessive piano player for a little brother, she finds herself living a double life: one as a good daughter, the other on an erotic journey that will change her forever. Lyrical, poetic and of rare and simple beauty, While the Shark is Sleeping is an enchanting story of the loss of innocence and the desire to be loved.

With warmth, earthy humour and magic woven throughout, this is a beautifully told story about the nature of love and young womanhood. The author, Milena Agus, is an award-winning and internationally bestselling author.
