Beautiful, enchanting, whimsical, magical realism. Literary fiction can be uplifting as gingerbread this book proves, not just cynical and world weary. Oyeyemi brings her characters to full life, and her prose is witty and charming, but with plenty of substance and bite. Just like gingerbread itself, a cosy fireside read that leaves you with plenty to mull over afterwards. Lovely
