\'Through her bold storytelling, \"The Sleepwalkers\" becomes a work of peculiar, gonzo genius. ... Thomas takes a glamorous late-capitalist setting, with rosé and catamarans, and shreds, twists and warps it into a story that is surprising, humane and political to its bones.\' New York Times

\'Thomas tells her story with the craft and cunning of an Aegean sorceress. ... [S]he can make metafiction not just smart but fun.

\'Like a darker, funnier The White Lotus, The Sleepwalkers is horrifying in the best possible way. I loved every moment of it.\' James Smythe

\'The Sleepwalkers is brilliant, savage and hilarious. The voice is so strong and so distinctive from the get-go, so bold and pitilessly funny. There is no whingeing here, just a fearless takedown which I read through in a single streak of pure delight. This is Scarlett\'s best yet, and I don\'t say that lightly.\' Bidisha Mamata

\'The Sleepwalkers is never-endingly surprising and full of keen observations on relationships, politics, and art. Thomas makes real life so fraught with meaning, it feels hauntingly supernatural. A twisty Gothic tale of vertiginous depths and haunting power.\' Sandra Newman, author of Julia
