The electrifying new novel from the Man Booker-shortlisted author of Everything Under
Daisy Johnson was born in 1990. Her debut short-story collection, Fen, was published in 2016. In 2018 she became the youngest author ever to be shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize with her debut novel Everything Under. She is the winner of the Harper's Bazaar Short Story Prize, the A. M. Heath Prize and the Edge Hill Short Story Prize. She currently lives in Oxford by the river.
A short, sharp explosion of a gothic thriller whose tension
ratchets up and up to an ending of extraordinary lyricism and
virtuosity.
*Observer *Fiction to Look Out for in 2020**
A haunting, emotionally acute novel with a terrific twist.
*Daily Mail *Christmas Fiction**
[A] gothic masterpiece... You can't stop reading... This taut,
lyrical firecracker of a book crescendos into an emotional ambush
of a climax, which...confirms Johnson as a profoundly inventive and
masterful storyteller.

A tour-de-force... Johnson's prose seduces us with the promise of
comfort and then yanks that comfort away.
*Guardian *Book of the Day**
Exhilarating... A masterful follow up to her debut, Johnson's novel
is quietly terrifying and certainly an apt read for 2020.
