description: The key to a house the key to a heart the key to a secretOyeyemis keys not only unlock elements of her characters lives they promise further labyrinths on the other side. In Books and Roses one special key opens a library a garden and clues to at least two lovers fates. In Is Your Blood as Red as This? an unlikely key opens the heart of a student at a puppeteering school. Sorry Doesnt Sweeten Her Tea involves a house of locks where doors can be closed only with a keywith surprising unobservable developments. And in If a Book Is Locked Theres Probably a Good Reason for That Don't You Think a key keeps a mystical diary locked (for good reason). Oyeyemis tales span multiple times and landscapes as they tease boundaries between coexisting realities. Is a key a gate a gift or an invitation?
