Quick take
The startling first collection of dark, surreal, and unsettling stories from the international prize-winning author of The Woman in the Purple Skirt.
Synopsis
Asa tries to give her classmate a biscuit. Nami evades her classmates' playground game of acorn-throwing. Happy decides she's not interested in doing anything other than lying down on her sofa.
Each of these three stories begins in a reasonable place-but by the end you'll find yourself in another world altogether.
