SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE
Step aboard a most peculiar train with Otto and Xavier Shin, a couple whose journey veers far beyond the realm of ordinary travel. As they traverse through carriages more bewildering than the last, they find themselves entangled in an enigmatic tapestry of intrigue. Who is the mysterious Ava Kapoor, the train's sole permanent resident? What secrets does she share with the elusive Prem? Are our protagonists mere passengers, or unwitting captives in this locomotive labyrinth?
Oyeyemi, hailed as a literary virtuoso by the New York Times, weaves a tale that unfolds like a set of Russian nesting dolls, each revelation more startling than the last. With her trademark blend of the magical and the mundane, she propels readers through a narrative as intoxicating as it is perplexing, unearthing clues from the past to illuminate the present.
Prepare to be transported into the singular, spellbinding world of Helen Oyeyemi's fiction, where reality bends and imagination reigns supreme. 'Peaces' is a journey into the extraordinary, a puzzle box of a novel that will captivate and confound in equal measure.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
