Everything Under
by Daisy Johnson
dark
mysterious
reflective
medium-paced
I have a lot to say about this book in a way I haven't with the others I've read recently. It creates this haunting atmosphere that reminded me of Our Wives Under the Sea and both have magical realism, dark fairytale and characters haunted by an underwater beast. But even though it was clear where this Greek tragedy was going from fairly early on, it had me hooked in the imagery in a way that I haven't felt for a while. The questions of fate, mixing ancient storytelling with modern worries around genetics and health, felt well incorporated. I knew as I was reading that I would want to reread it and feel sure that it'll get even more from it a second time around.
