A hypnotic and haunting story of longing and survival, losing yourself and finding your family'Daisy Johnson's best novel... a multi-generational story of secrets, obsessions, and love' Jeff VanderMeer'Astonishingly beautiful' Kaliane BradleyClose to the shore is the island: uninhabited, wild, with only a storm-beaten lighthouse for shelter. Ori was found there as a small child with a handful of stones, no memories and no mother. When she has a baby of her own, the job of motherhood feels immense and sleepless nights begin to shatter her grip on reality. Her head fills with the sound of stones knocking against each other and the mystery of her past begins to unravel, opening up a path to the mother she lost, and the mother she could become.Years earlier, on a sweltering summer day, ten-year-old Ruth sees a woman and her baby walk into the river and disappear. But she is the only witness, and the water yields no trace. Ruth’s mother, Edith, locks her daughter away – first to restrain these wild imaginings, and later, when she falls pregnant, to hide the shame. Ruth longs to escape and dreams of the nearby island, where she and her baby can finally be free.'A novel of startling force' C Pam Zhang'An unflinchingly observed treatise on the maelstrom of motherhood. Masterful' Kiran Millwood Hargrave'A fierce and magical writer' Liz Berry'At once devastating and heartening' Helen Phillips

Gretel, la protagonista treintañera de esta fascinante y a ratos perturbadora novela, se reúne con su madre, Sarah, que ahora sufre de alzhéimer, dieciséis años después de que ésta la abandonara. Gretel es lexicógrafa y se gana la vida actualizando entradas de diccionarios, así que sabe bien que las palabras no son inmutables: tampoco lo son los recuerdos ni la vida que se ha construido sobre ellos. Hasta el momento, Sarah ha sido para su hija "como un fantasma sentado a su mesa que devora toda la comida", pero cuando, después de una incansable búsqueda, por fin tiene la oportunidad de formular las preguntas que la atenazan desde que era una adolescente, la memoria de su madre ya no es una línea recta, sino sólo una confusa serie de círculos deflectores que se trazan para luego desdibujarse.Antes de la separación, madre e hija vivieron juntas en una casa flotante en los canales de Oxford, un entorno de aislamiento salvaje, plagado de supersticiones y de gente a la que no le gusta estar en tierra firme mucho tiempo. Un escurridizo territorio remiso a la ley y a la geografía donde viven libres y soberanas, pero acechadas por el Bonak, una criatura mítica, que sea en forma de tormenta que amenaza su barco o de incendio que arrasa el bosque, es la encarnación de todos sus temores. Su "normalidad" queda trastocada con la aparición de Marcus, un joven vagabundo al que dan acogida en su barco y que llega de manera tan misteriosa como desaparece. ¿Qué secreto se oculta en la figura de Marcus?, ¿qué pasó realmente aquel último invierno en el río?En una suerte de reelaboración del mito de Edipo en clave transgénero, y con una maestría insospechada en una escritora de tan sólo 28 años, la finalista más joven del premio Booker, Daisy Johnson aborda asuntos como la complejidad de las relaciones entre madres e hijas, los prejuicios de género o la construcción de la propia identidad sobre los cimientos de vivencias poco convencionales. Johnson nos invita, con una escritura intensa, calma, como una nota sostenida, y el encantamiento propio de los cuentos infantiles, a atravesar un intrincado laberinto de emociones turbias, atmósferas sobrecogedoras y destinos inevitables. "Daisy Johnson es la heredera maligna de Shirley Jackson y Stephen King." The Guardian"La primera novela de Johnson confirma no sólo su talento, sino también su ambición. Bajo la superficie vibra peligrosamente con la carga eléctrica de una torre de alta tensión, y en sus frases brillan una y otra vez expresiones de nuevo cuño tan sorprendentes como viscerales." Daily Mail"Entretenido y deslumbrante, repleto de giros perturbadores y oscuras revelaciones." The Observer"Un libro extraño, salvaje y de lo más inquietante. Johnson escribe con un torrente de palabras tan implacables, turbulentas y oscuras como ese río que es el meollo del libro. Al sumergirnos en él un momento salimos jadeantes y atormentados." Celeste Ng

Julio y Septiembre son dos hermanas adolescentes que viven en su propio mundo. Septiembre es dominante y temeraria, en ocasiones, cruel, mientras que Julio es mansa y temerosa, introvertida, ingenua y complaciente. Son uña y carne: el estrecho vínculo que las une, su devoción, las extrañas pruebas a las que se someten para demostrar su lealtad y la forma en que se completan mutuamente impiden saber dónde empieza una y termina la otra.La fragilidad de Julio ha llamado la atención de las chicas malas del instituto, desencadenante de un macabro suceso –apenas insinuado– que las obligará a mudarse con su madre, escritora de literatura infantil, desde Oxford a una casa destartalada propiedad de su tía paterna, situada en medio de la nada, donde reina una atmósfera opresiva y desasosegante.Daisy Johnson, gran estilista y sabedora de que lo que no se dice ni se describe puede ser tan perturbador como lo que se desvela, vuelve a dosificar, con maestría y elegancia, las revelaciones y las elipsis en una absorbente novela de suspense a medio camino entre el género gótico y la fábula mitológica, en la que explora las relaciones entre hermanas y nos advierte de los peligros de amar demasiado.
