Everything Under
by Daisy Johnson
9/10 : I saw this book in the library & picked it up based on the beautiful cover alone. The premise of this story is a modern reworking of the Ancient Greek mythology, Oedipus, of which I know only but the bare bones about {Google it}. As the tale begins, we are immediately thrown into a life lived on the water, the book catapults from one person to another, back & forth remembering stories from the river, until the mysteries slowly unravel, & the truths reveal themselves. Identity, language & fear are key themes, a deeply unsettling existence with so much meaning. I was really engrossed throughout, & found it a fascinating read. I struggled at first with the lack of speech marks, but you quickly get past that.
