Mimi is less a pristine toy than a small survivor of childhood: a broken nose and a crack across her head record years of handling. Her battered presence brings a quiet, intimate tenderness to the rooms where she is found.

Mimi is a doll whose broken nose and cracked head have become familiar over the five years Borís has known her. She appears again cast down on a tub in the conservatory, an ordinary toy left among the household’s changing scenes. The novel gives her no further history, but her wear makes time and childhood feel tangible.
Description
Mimi is a doll with a broken nose and a head cracked right across the skull. Her battered condition suggests long familiarity and years of handling, though the text gives no details of her color, material, clothing, or original design. She is once found thrown down on a tub in the conservatory.
