Sleeping Weather is intense, lyrical, and emotionally charged. Leon Stone, the protagonist, is a man with a criminal past who finds his life blessed with good fortune — a wife he feels passion for, a daughter, a safe neighbourhood. But his world becomes threatened when he finds himself drawn to Vasily, a philosophic, alcoholic, self-declared failed immigrant. Leon's past is slowly revealed and his relationships with his family and with Vasily move towards a powerful climax.
