"Transcendent." â€”The New York Times Book Review

"Flawless. . .Â another masterpiece from an author who seems incapable of writing anything that's less than brilliant."Â â€”NPR

From the award-winning author of Boy, Snow, Bird and Mr. Fox comes an enchanting collection of intertwined stories.
Â
Playful, ambitious, and exquisitely imagined, What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours is cleverly built around the idea of keys, literal and metaphorical. The key to a house, the key to a heart, the key to a secretâ€”Oyeyemiâ€™s keys not only unlock elements of her charactersâ€™ lives, they promise further labyrinths on the other side. In â€œBooks and Rosesâ€ one special key opens a library, a garden, and clues to at least two loversâ€™ fates. In â€œIs Your Blood as Red as This?â€ an unlikely key opens the heart of a student at a puppeteering school. â€œâ€˜Sorryâ€™ Doesnâ€™t Sweeten Her Teaâ€ involves a â€œhouse of locks,â€ where doors can be closed only with a keyâ€”with surprising, unobservable developments. And in â€œIf a Book Is Locked Thereâ€™s Probably a Good Reason for That Don't You Think,â€ a key keeps a mystical diary locked (for good reason).
Â
Oyeyemiâ€™s tales span multiple times and landscapes as they tease boundaries between coexisting realities. Is a key a gate, a gift, or an invitation? What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours captivates as it explores the many possible answers.
