Description:
As far as British novelist Helen Oyeyemi is concerned, you’re never too old for fairy tales. Her latest novel is a spin on the Hansel and Gretel story – it follows Harriet, a would-be social climber with a magical gingerbread recipe, and her daughter, Perdita, a troubled young woman who takes a bizarre trip to a country that may or may not exist. It’s a life-affirming, charming and just plain fun novel from an author who’s refreshingly unafraid to be joyful.
