This book is a short story for all ages. It is an example of love and sacrifice based on Christian values. The story is an intimate look at the sadness of the human spirit and the burst of hope and faith that comes with divine intervention.

More than mere playthings, Enchanted Dolls are elegantly sculpted and articulated works of art. Strikingly nude, engraved or adorned in opulent sculptural costumes of precious metals, gemstones and rare found objects, each doll intricately conveys an aspect of our humanity. As Marina says 'the reason I love making dolls is because it it's a multidisciplinary art form. To create a doll I get to do it all: sculpture, industrial design, painting, engraving, mold-making, drawing, metalwork, fashion and jewellery design. I want it all!'

“Sex, death, flowers—rivers, seas, sleep. They all have beds. This was my very first thought.” The first part of this story is told from the perspective of a sex doll. The second from the perspective of the man who owns her. Peter Leggatt’s debut novel opens with the thoughts of a sex doll as she comes to consciousness inside her crate, about to be delivered to the apartment of her owner, J. There, J opens her. What ensues is a very modern love affair, teetering between tragedy and the darkly comic, and written in prose of hallucinatory beauty. At a moment when debate over gender and identity is increasingly fraught Doll affords a provocative new perspective on love and objectification. “Doll is an astonishing piece of writing. Its ingenuity, and intelligence, and strangeness, and indeed beauty, carry for me a Nabokov originality, and that is a high matching indeed. I have absolutely no doubt this is best seller material.” — Tim Waterstone, novelist and founder of Waterstones

I am Miss Kanagawa. In 1927, my 57 doll-sisters and I were sent from Japan to America as Ambassadors of Friendship. Our work wasn't all peach blossoms and tea cakes. My story will take you from New York to Oregon, during the Great Depression. Though few in this tale are as fascinating as I, their stories won't be an unpleasant diversion. You will make the acquaintance of Bunny, bent on revenge; Lois, with her head in the clouds; Willie Mae, who not only awakened my heart, but broke it; and Lucy, a friend so dear, not even war could part us. I have put this tale to paper because from those 58 Friendship Dolls only 45 remain. I know that someone who chooses this book is capable of solving the mystery of the missing sisters. Perhaps that someone is you.

"I'll think of something. So far, I've always come up with something, no matter what it was about," I thought. "And there's always an after!" Sabine, who grows up in the GDR, doesn't really have a "good start" in life. After a failed suicide attempt by her mother, she is first placed in a children's home. Some time later, she is separated from her beloved brother forever and her biological father wants nothing to do with her. But Sabine does not give up. Whatever happens to her, she tackles life with courage and makes the best of it, following the motto: "When life gives you a lemon, make lemonade out of it!" An utterly heart-wrenching novel that you won't want to put down until you've read the very last line.
