SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2018 'Daisy Johnson is a new goddamn swaggering monster of fiction' Lauren Groff `Weird and wild and wonderfully unsettling...

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.
