520    The stories collected here are linked by more than the 
       exquisitely winding prose of their creator: Helen 
       Oyeyemi's ensemble cast of characters slip from the pages 
       of their own stories only to surface in another. The 
       reader is invited into a world of lost libraries and 
       locked gardens, of marshlands where the drowned dead live 
       and a city where all the clocks have stopped; students 
       hone their skills at puppet school, the Homely Wench 
       Society commits a guerrilla book-swap, and lovers exchange
       books and roses on St Jordi's Day. It is a collection of 
       towering imagination, marked by baroque beauty and a deep 
       sensuousness.
