The first collection of stories from Lionel Shriver explores the idea of "property" in both senses of the word: real estate and stuff. These imaginative pieces illustrate how our possessions act as proxies for ourselves, and how tussles over ownership articulate the power dynamics of our relationships. In Shriver's world, we may possess people and objects and places, but in turn they possess us.
