Peaces by Helen Oyeyemi
The latest entrancing novel from the multi-award-winning Nigerian-British writer takes a couple, Otto and Xavier, on a long train ride aboard a former tea-smuggling locomotive. The trip is their “non-honeymoon honeymoon,” but the Lucky Day isn’t a normal train. As its secrets and those of its mysterious owner, Ava Kapoor are revealed, it becomes evident that all of the characters, from the lovers to the strangers, are intimately joined through past events, relationships, goals, fears and hopes. In lyrical, almost magical prose, Oyeyemi weaves a dramatic, exciting tale, in which Otto and Xavier must piece together what is real, what was orchestrated and who they can believe.
