“A slow burn” – Everything Under by Daisy Johnson

"Critical consensus tends to set our teeth on edge and so we're as surprised as anybody else by the fact that we're not tearing the book a new one. Johnson gets points for construction, for ambition, for erudition and for heart. She loses points for occasionally over-egging the pudding (using two words or three words when one would do) and she loses points for not entirely trusting her readers (example - she uses the word 'earworm' and then explains what it means). But in the great tallying, she comes out ahead and Everything Under gets filed under: very promising debut..."
