03/21/2019 12:01 AMInfused with the ethereal magic of a classic fairy tale, Gingerbread skates the line between fantasy and reality with charming agility. Oyeyemi is a superbly talented storyteller, and she has crafted a darkly comic and modern work out of familiar and traditional influences, expanding a family saga into a playful and strange tale of identity. Like the gingerbread that the Lee women bake from a generations-old family recipe, this novel will fill you with everything you need from it, even if you have no idea quite what that is.
