The Impossible Fairytale tells the story of the nameless ‘Child’, who
struggles to make a mark on the world, and her classmate Mia, whose
spoiled life is everything the Child's is not.

At school, their fellow students seem consumed by an almost murderous
rage. Adults are nearly invisible, and the society the children create on
their own is marked by soul-crushing hierarchies and an underlying
menace. One day after hours the Child sneaks into the classroom to add
ominous sentences to her classmates’ notebooks, setting in motion a
series of cataclysmic events.A teacher, who is also this book’s author, wakes from an intense dream.
When she arrives at her next class, she recognises a student: the Child,
who knows about the events of the novel’s first half, which took place
years before.The Impossible Fairytale is a fresh and terrifying exploration of the ethics
of art making and of the stinging consequences of neglect.
