This is a very complicated fairy tale, based on the story of Bluebeard. Mr. Fox is a writer who kills off his heroines. Mary is his muse who comes to life. I was looking forward to this book after hearing Oyeyemi read excerpts at the Ottawa Writers' Festival. However, although well-written and inventive, it was too complex and I read only half.
