Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"[A]n effectively creepy chamber piece...narrated in hushed tones that resonate with both suggestive psychological complexity and the emotional coloring of an ancient ballad or folktale."
Kirkus, 09/23/2001
Review:"In the novel, a balance is struck between what is said, what is unsaid and what is implied; the result grips the reader absolutely."
Gaetan Soucy, Times Literary Supplement, 05/10/2002

Book Description: House of Anansi Press, United States, 2007. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Translation. 208 x 135 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Alone with their authoritarian father on a vast estate where time has stopped, two siblings speak a language and inhabit a surreal universe of their own making, shaped by their reading of philosophy and tales of chivalry. When their father dies and the children set out to bury him, they encounter the inhabitants of the neighboring village, and the pair's cloak of romance and superstition falls away to reveal the appalling truth of their existence. A brilliant, masterful story in which nothing is as it first seems, "The Little Girl Who Was Too Fond of Matches" is a triumph of suspense, linguistic invention, and playfulness that peers into the heart of guilt, cruelty, and violence.
