Book Description: How can children be the heroes of their own stories if they are raised by unreliable narrators Blisteringly bleak yet witty and imbued with kind-hearted curiosity, Stories We Tell Our Children weaves a series of darkly inventive interlinked tales into a complex world where entitlement, estrangement and shirked responsibility leave indelible marks on young lives. Eight-year-old Rishi has no idea who he is or where his parents are. As he searches for clues to his own identity, he entertains himself with dangerous thoughts that undermine his chances of ever living a normal life. Stories We Tell Our Children explores how children learn to survive through the tales they are told. But can they thrive if they are raised by unreliable narrators using stories as a means of shirking responsibility and papering over the cracks of estrangement Blisteringly bleak, witty and wildly erudite, this series of darkly inventive interlinked tales shows how our young are transformed by the words they are fed words that are often insubstantial and misleading, leaving them hungry for truth as they sift through the scraps left by those whose aim should be to nourish them.
