Critics Review
Daisy Johnson is a new goddamn swaggering monster of fiction
Johnson attacks the Oedipus myth with a taste for gothic horror and a radical vision based on gender fluidity … Her clever layering of ancient and modern makes for a disturbing take on the illusion of free will and the horrible things that women sometimes think and do. * The Times *
I was quite late into work because I couldn’t stop reading it. * Guardian Books Podcast *
A thrillingly bewildering reading experience. It often seems like you’re feeling your way submerged, from paragraph to paragraph, rather than safely strapped in for a conventionally neater narrative ride… What lurks beneath is literary fiction at its troublesome best. * Waterways World *
