''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 will soon reunite them, and bring those wild years flooding back: the secret language that Gretel and her mother invented; the strange boy, Marcus, living on the boat that final winter; the creature said to be underwater, swimming ever closer. In the end there will be nothing for Gretel to do but to wade deeper into their past, where family secrets and aged prophesies will all come tragically alive again. ''As readable as it is dazzling, full of unsettling twists and dark revelations'' Observer**SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2018**

4.5
A layered psychological portrait of the things we fear. The future, the present, the past; or more simply, the unknown. The story of a young runaway burning with fear and confusion, and the semi-feral mother and daughter who take them in, Everything Under is a dark fairytale of secrets and longings, escape and return, and the futility of running from that which we must face. Daisy Johnson’s prose is beautiful, but it is her ability to create and control atmosphere that really makes this book shine. For some the structure of this novel might take a little getting used to, as it alternates through three different timelines in its search for answers, but the pattern isn’t difficult to pick up on, and is very much worth it in the end.
