Bookwarm: “Peaces” by Helen Oyeyemi

No, no, it’s not a typo, just typical of a community of the word lovers to believe they could actually play the role of the heater!

So, the missing piece of that cliché image - a hot cuppa, blanket, candles and “Peaces” by Helen Oyeyemi, whom Guardian describes as a bamboozler, a discombobulator, a peddler of perplexity. She crushes fables and fairytales down to a powder and then laces her fiction with it like some kind of literary hallucinogen. A novel that seems
impossible to describe and therefore impossibly curious and attractive?
