Daisy Johnson is a new goddamn swaggering monster of fiction
*Lauren Groff*
Saturated in mythology and fairy tales, Everything Under is weird
and wild and wonderfully unsettling. Daisy Johnson writes in a
torrent of language as unrelenting and turbulent and dark as the
river at the book’s heart; dive in for just a moment and you’ll
emerge gasping and haunted
*Celeste Ng*
The kind of book that worms its way into your brain, leaving echoes
of its story and world long after it is back on the shelf…
beautifully creepy and affecting
*Observer*
A stunning debut novel. Blending a deep understanding of character
and storytelling examination… the result reminds me of Iris
Murdoch… Johnson’s affinity for the natural world is
extraordinary
*Guardian*
Everything Under grabbed me from the first page and wouldn’t let me
go. To read Daisy Johnson is to have that rare feeling of meeting
an author you’ll read for the rest of your life.
*Evie Wyld*
Everything Under is a force of nature ... Like Iris Murdoch's 1954
novel Under the Net, Johnson's Man Booker Prize finalist is
concerned with language, secrets and the damage wrought by what's
left unsaid.
