KS5/Adult LRC Book Recommendation - Everything Under by Daisy Johnson
Shortlisted for The Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2018
The Oedipal myth of divided families, inter-generational rivalry and twisted fate is vividly re-imagined in Daisy Johnson’s debut novel Everything Under.
Set in a remote cottage in the British countryside, the novel centres on the complex and fractured relationship between an isolated young lexicographer and her mother, a woman gradually succumbing to dementia. ‘A deeply involving, unsettling novel that pulls the reader into a uniquely eerie yet recognisable world.’
