An Introduction
from Soporific · host Dr Tench Media
Before we begin. My name is The Dreamcatcher. This is Soporific — a sleep companion for the restless mind. We breathe together once. Then I read you eight lines of Yeats. Enough to show you what we do here. Ten episodes are waiting. Thirty minutes each. A breathing routine, then poetry read aloud in the quiet hours. Free to listen. Always.

But despite the title, the central character of this extraordinary novel is not the redoubtable Jevons but the rebellious feminist Viola, determined against all odds not only to revolt against every enslaving conformity of her upbringing, but also to burn all her boats behind her, ruthlessly leaving herself no possibility of a return to the soporific decorum of her clo
