In her bestselling novels \u003ci\u003eLullabies for Little Criminals \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Girl Who Was Saturday Night\u003c\/i\u003e, she transformed the shabbiest streets of Montreal with her beautiful, freewheeling metaphors. She described the smallest of things—a stray cat or a second-hand coat—with an intensity that made them otherworldly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDaydreams of Angels\u003c\/i\u003e, O'Neill's first collection of short stories, she gives free reign to her imaginative gifts. In \"The Ugly Ducklings,\" generations of Nureyev clones live out their lives in a grand Soviet experiment. In \"Dear Piglet,\" a teenaged 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, storybooks, Bible stories—to uncover the deepest truths of family life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118651719920,"sku":"9780374711221","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780374711221_p0.jpg?v=1769917140","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780374711221","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
