Description
The reader is invited into a world of lost libraries and locked gardens, of marshlands where the drowned dead live and a city where all the clocks have stopped; students hone their skills at puppet school, the Homely Wench Society commits a guerrilla book-swap, and lovers exchange books and roses on St Jordi's Day.
It is a collection of towering imagination, marked by baroque beauty and a deep sensuousness.

The book started off strong for me with the first two stories, but then I didn't connect with it much. I liked the recurring theme with the keys and also liked that some characters showed up in more than one story... unfortunately more often than not, I really didn't get much out of the stories. They just felt very scattered and I kept scratching my head wondering what I am supposed to take away from them.
