1. Sleepless Nights
"Sleepless Nights" is a novel that weaves together memories, reflections, and fictionalized episodes to paint a portrait of a woman's life. The narrative is fragmented and non-linear, reflecting the protagonist's introspective journey through her past relationships, experiences, and observations. Set against the backdrop of various American and European backdrops, the book delves into themes of love, loss, identity, and the complexities of the human condition. The protagonist's musings are interlaced with vivid character sketches of the people who have drifted in and out of her life, creating a tapestry of poignant and evocative vignettes that capture the essence of her restless, contemplative existence.
