From the award-winning author of "Boy, Snow, Bird" comes an enchanting and thought-provoking collection of intertwined stories. Playful, ambitious, and exquisitely imagined, the stories are cleverly built around the idea of keys, literal and metaphorical. The key to a house, the key to a heart, the key to a secret - Oyeyemi's keys not only unlock elements of her characters' lives, they promise further labyrinths on the other side. As ever, Oyeyemi's creative vision and storytelling are effervescent, wise, and insightful, and her tales span multiple times and landscapes as they tease boundaries between coexisting realities.
