The Strange Beautiful

By Carla Crujido

Book Overview

In a series of interlinked stories that span from 1918 to the present day, this surreal, folklore-inspired book shows us the lives of ten tenants in an apartment building in Spokane, Washington. Among them, we meet a homesick musician struggling with an unusual addiction; a department store mannequin living as a flesh-and-blood woman; and a mother and daughter hosting tea parties for an unlikely guest. These quiet, emotionally fraught tales explore our unseen connections to strangers and the cyclical nature of our collective stories.
