About the Author

Helen Oyeyemi is a British novelist. She lives in Prague with an ever-increasing perfume wardrobe- let's just say the bottle count exceeds 150 but is less than 300- and has written ten books so far, none of which contain 'magical realism'. (Can't fiction sometimes get extra fictional without being called such names?!) Number One Daydream these days: writing a novel or story that inspires a fragrance.
