| 520 | |a The stories collected in What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours 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.

It is a collection of towering imagination, marked by baroque beauty and a deep sensuousness. | ||
