Oyeyemi has created a book that combines reality with fairy tales and at times, they clash and at times they meld together. It is difficult to discuss this book without giving away key elements of the novel. An abusive parent forces Boy to flee New York City for the small town of Flax Hill in New England. Read with an open mind being aware continually that truth shifts and nothing is as it seems. This original story will stay will you after you’ve read it, for you’ll be thinking of all the threads that ravel in this story of very original characters
