In an African city, a nameless young woman living in the wards slowly begins to lose her identity: her skin color is peeling off, people are becoming invisible, and the city plans to destroy the train where they bury their dead. After the narrator is given a warning by her grandmother's dreamskin, things begin to fall apart.
In an explosion of love's metaphors, Fowler's magic realism collection, SUSPENDED HEART, takes on American fabulism with a cast of unexpected heroines in the narratives of life and loss--women whose hearts fall out at public malls, women whose bodies bloom with changing seasons, women who sprout blades or have multiple eyes, sleep as snakes, or birth saints like lapis lazuli babies. There's a fearlessness to this prose, a melody of life and magic and loss. This Collector's Edition contains three previously uncollected stories.
Your mother needed you to be a prince. When your father was slain and your mother fled into exile, the prophecy was her only comfort.

"For thousands of years, the Elementari -- spirits of the elements -- have slept peacefully under the watchful eye of the Terakhein, a guardian tribe that protects them. But now that the Elementari have started to awaken, the Terakhein are nowhere to be found. In Gaelstad, where the trees never die, eighteen-year-old Jonathan is haunted by dreams of a little girl: the last of the Terakhein. Fleeing from enemies across treacherous lands, Jonathan must survive and find the girl. Fortunately, help comes in the form of Bryn, a terrible fire spirit, and Morgan, the most beautiful -- and deadly -- of water spirits. But are they strong enough to give him the time he needs to find the missing girl and stop the tide of destruction?"--P. [4] of cover.
