HTML:<b>"Transcendent." —<i>The New York Times Book Review</i><br /> "Flawless. . . another masterpiece from an author who seems incapable of writing anything that's less than brilliant." —<i>NPR</i><br /> From the award-winning author of <i>Boy, Snow, Bird</i> and <i>Mr. Fox</i> comes an enchanting collection of intertwined stories.</b><br /> <br /> Playful, ambitious, and exquisitely imagined, <i>What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours</i> is 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. In "Books and Roses" one special key opens a library, a garden, and clues to at least two lovers' fates. In "Is Your Blood as Red as This?" an unlikely key opens the heart of a student at a puppeteering school. "'Sorry' Doesn't Sweeten Her Tea" involves a "house of locks," where doors can be closed only with a key—with surprising, unobservable developments. And in "If a Book Is Locked There's Probably a Good Reason for That Don't You Think," a key keeps a mystical diary locked (for good reason).<br /> <br /> Oyeyemi's tales span multiple times and landscapes as they tease boundaries between coexisting realities. Is a key a gate, a gift, or an invitation? <i>What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours</i> captivates as it explores the many possible answers.<br /> <i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>. Media Type: eBook.
