About this book

The intriguing role that gingerbread plays in beloved children's tales serves as the inspiration for Helen Oyeyemi's charming and creative book "Gingerbread." A wonderful story of an unexpected family legacy (where inheritance is a recipe) is told in the book. Seemingly typical working mother Harriet Lee lives in a seventh-floor walk-up apartment with some very talkative greenery.

The apartment is painted gold. Their gingerbread is well-liked in Druhástrana, a distant place from Harriet's early years. The Lees' constant in their lives is gingerbread, even as they deal with family resentment, ambition, and jealousy.

Helen Oyeyemi

Helen Oyeyemi uses folklore, doubles, family inheritance, and transformation in novels that resist a single genre. Gingerbread centers on Harriet and Perdita Lee, whose family recipe carries memories of the mysterious country Druhástrana and of Harriet’s childhood friend Gretel.
