emma_victorian 's review for:

Everything Under by Daisy Johnson
4.0

The story of a lexicographer who attempts to look after the angry alzheimer's inflicted mother who abandoned her in childhood. She attempts to reconstruct what happened to their lives before as river people, entwined with the mysterious Margo/Marcus who came into their lives. I struggled to keep up with the novel as an audiobook as while lucid & engaging it can also be strangely dense and elusive (blink & you'll miss it) too.
