Publisher Notes
From the author of "Behind the Scenes at the Museum" comes a wildly inventive, deeply moving, and darkly comic tale of a young girl's exploration of her past. At once a fairy tale, a mystery, and a family saga, by turns comic and tragic, the novel is rich with the disappointments and possibilities that every family shares.
Media Reviews
"[A] self-consciously smart and mildly amusing family saga."
