♦ “‘Sorry’ Doesn’t Sweeten Her Tea” involves a “house of locks,” where doors can be closed only with a key-with surprising, unobservable developments. ♦ In “Is Your Blood as Red as This?” an unlikely key opens the heart of a student at a puppeteering school.
♦ In “Books and Roses” one special key opens a library, a garden, and clues to at least two lovers’ fates. 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. Playful, ambitious, and exquisitely imagined, What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours is cleverly built around the idea of keys, literal and metaphorical.
An enchanting collection of intertwined stories.
