'Just downright brilliant... a transcendent, transporting experience' ObserverA motherless girl grows up in isolated luxury, hidden from the world by her wealthy father. She believ es their life together is normal - but as time passes, she has a growing sense that something between them is very wrong. She cannot escape, so she seeks solace in her books. Her favourite tales are those that conjure ancient worlds - of angry gods and heroic mortals, one of whom will some day come to her rescue. Soon, she will forget where the page ends and her mind begins. 'A full-throttle blast of storytelling mastery' Max Porter; 336 pages; Published: 16/04/2020 Show more
