A magical short novel from the author of All My Friends are Superheroes.
A robber holds up a Canadian bank but instead of stealing money he takes from each person the item of most sentimental value.
As time passes the loss of these items have a dramatic effect on the victims: one discovers God under her sofa, another is attacked by her lion tattoo when it comes to life, and the wife of our narrator starts to shrink.
It is a remarkable short novella, a modern fable that is weird, uplifting and romantic all at the same time.
Kaufman’s debut novel, All My Friends are Superheroes, has become a significant word-of-mouth hit and garnered rave reviews from Marie Phillips, Toby Litt and others. It is soon to be made into a feature film.
This hardback of Tiny Wife will be a gorgeous gift edition with illustrations.

CozyUnpredictablePage-turnerThought-provokingHeartwarmingSadWas this story about illness, fear, and pain? Or was it just a magical story about a bank robbery in which the thief steals the most precious items the people in the bank owned at that moment, and by doing so, stealing half of their souls?It's one of those books the moment I finished reading. I'm not sure if I understood correctly or if I mindlessly injected meaning on to.I loved it.
