Nothing to See Here
The children catch fire when upset, and the novel is deadpan about everything except who cares for them.
Lillian is asked by her old school friend to look after two children who spontaneously burst into flames when agitated. Wilson plays the premise deadpan, and it becomes a novel about children treated as embarrassments and the adult who decides not to.
