More about the book

The Yaga siblings -- Bellatine, a young woodworker, and Isaac, a wayfaring street performer and con artist -- have been estranged since childhood, separated both by resentment and by wide miles of American highway. But when they learn that they are to receive an inheritance, the siblings agree to meet -- only to discover that their bequest isn't land or money, but something far stranger: a sentient house on chicken legs.
