Dallergut Dream Department Store (2023)
(Dallergut Dream Department Store, book 1)
Miye Lee
"A page-turning bearhug of a novel that brings the elusive technicolor world of dream beautifully to life. Like all good fantasy fiction, Miye Lee smuggles in the big issues, too: the divide between rich and poor, the unrequited yearnings of the soul, and the aching pain of loss and bereavement. There's a tenderness to the book, and the eponymous department store, in all its Wes-Anderson-like color and frippery, that envelopes the reader, making them long to stay there forever."
