1. "Gingerbread" by Helen Oyeyemi
In this modern-day fable, a London mother and daughter treasure a
family recipe for gingerbread. But the story of the gingerbread’s origin -- set in a
faraway land -- seems rather strange. When the girl grows up and searches for
family secrets, she falls down a bendy rabbit hole of fairy tale lore, uncovering a complex world where gingerbread is king, but also weapon of choice.
