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). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOyeyemi's tales span multiple times and landscapes as they tease boundaries between coexisting realities. Is a key a gate, a gift, or an invitation? \u003ci\u003eWhat Is Not Yours Is Not Yours\u003c\/i\u003e captivates as it explores the many possible answers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHelen Oyeyemi \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the story collection \u003ci\u003eWhat Is Not Yours Is Not Yours \u003c\/i\u003ealong with five novels\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e--\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003emost recently \u003ci\u003eBoy, Snow, Bird, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich was a finalist for the 2014\u003ci\u003e Los Angeles Times \u003c\/i\u003eBook Prize.
