Krátky popis
**SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2018****A New York Times
Notable Book 2018**'Daisy Johnson is a new goddamn swaggering
monster of fiction.' Lauren GroffWords are important to Gretel,
always have been. As a child, she lived on a canal boat with her
mother, and together they invented a language that was just their
own. She hasn't seen her mother since the age of sixteen, though -
almost a lifetime ago - and those memories have faded.Now Gretel
works as a lexicographer, updating dictionary entries, which suits
her solitary nature. A phone call from the hospital interrupts
Gretel's isolation and throws up questions from long ago. She
begins to remember the private vocabulary of her childhood.She
remembers other things, too: the wild years spent on the river, the
strange, lonely boy who came to stay on the boat one winter, and
the creature in the water - a canal thief? - swimming upstream,
getting ever closer. In the end there will be nothing for Gretel to
do but go back. Daisy Johnson's debut novel turns classical myth on
its head and takes readers to a modern-day England unfamiliar to
most.As daring as it is moving, Everything Under is a story of
family and identity, of fate, language, love and belonging that
leaves you unsettled and unstrung.
