Everything Under is a modern day retelling of a classic Greek myth. It just didn’t work for me. I found it a bit too dark and unnerving but that is more about me than the book itself. The writing is compelling and beautiful and I suspect it will be a real contender to win the Man Booker Prize.

I received a free copy of this book from Vintage Publishing in exchange for an honest review. A favourable review was not required and all opinions expressed here are my own.
