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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oyeyemi, Helen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Riverhead Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594634642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Helen Oyeyemi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39514614628427,"sku":"9781594634642","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_4053b5b1-50c5-4ebb-af3f-1a162dd1b628.jpg?v=1631639757","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/what-is-not-yours-is-not-yours-9781594634642","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
