In her bestselling novels, \u003ci\u003eLullabies for Little Criminals\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Girl Who Was Saturday Night\u003c\/i\u003e, she transforms the shabbiest streets of Montreal with her beautiful, freewheeling metaphors. She describes the smallest of things--a stray cat or a secondhand coat--with an intensity that makes them otherworldly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDaydreams of Angels\u003c\/i\u003e, O'Neill's first collection of short stories, she gives free rein to her imaginative gifts. In \"Swan Lake for Beginners,\" generations of Nureyev clones live out their lives in a grand Soviet experiment. In \"The Holy Dove Parade,\" a teenage cult follower writes a letter to explain the motivation behind her crime. And in another tale, a grandmother reveals where babies come from: the beach, where young mothers-to-be hunt for infants in the surf. Each of these beguiling stories twists the beloved narratives of childhood--fairy tales, fables, Bible parables--to uncover the deepest truths of family life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather O'Neill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374717885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374717889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.82d","brand":"Heather O'Neill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987301040383,"sku":"9780374717889","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b42dfb1d-02f7-4222-9f1c-0b1fa5a38b79.jpg?v=1683288164","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/daydreams-of-angels-heather-oneill-9780374717889","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
