Her father died instantly, her mother in the hospital. She has
learned to say this flatly and without emotion, the way she says
her name (Marina), her doll's name (also Marina) and her age
(seven). Her parents were killed in a car crash and now she lives
in the orphanage with the other little girls. But Marina is not
like the other little girls. In the curious, hyperreal, feverishly
serious world of childhood, Marina and the girls play games of
desire and warfare. The daily rituals of playtime, lunchtime and
bedtime are charged with a horror; horror is licked by the dark
flames of love. When Marina introduces the girls to Marina the
Doll, she sets in motion a chain of events from which there can be
no release. With shades of Daphne du Maurier, Shirley Jackson,
Guillermo Del Toro and Mariana Enriquez, Such Small Hands is a
beautifully controlled tour-de-force, a bedtime story to keep
readers awake.
