What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours Av Helen Oyeyemi

<p><b>The stories collected in <i>What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours</i> 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.</b><br><br>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. <br><br>It is a collection of towering imagination, marked by baroque beauty and a deep sensuousness.</p>
