Everything Under
Book description
'Weird and wild and wonderfully unsettling... Dive in for just a moment and you'll emerge gasping and haunted' Celeste Ng, bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere
It's been sixteen years since Gretel last saw her mother, half a lifetime to forget her childhood on the canals. But a phone call…
Why read it?
1 author picked Everything Under as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Johnson’s debut novel, longlisted for the Man Booker, takes place in a half-dreamlike state, exploring the complexities of a mother, daughter relationship. The writing is so visceral and exquisite, there were certain sentences I lingered over for hours. Her descriptions and linking of the characters with the natural world, while firmly rooted in reality are mythological and otherworldly at the same time. Astounding debut.
From D.M.'s list on literary novels with elements of fantasy.
