Everything under daisy johnson review6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() I was hooked from the very beginning though, racing through this book breathlessly, torn between wanting to keep reading and dreading what was to come – that something is not quite right with September and July is obvious from the beginning. ![]() The blurb is intentionally vague and I was unprepared for how creepy this book was. I read this mostly on the strength of Johnson’s debut novel and did not really know what to expect from it. With its roots in psychological horror, Sisters is a taut, powerful and deeply moving account of sibling love that cements Daisy Johnson’s place as one of the most inventive and exciting young writers at work today. Inside the house the tension among the three women builds, while outside the sisters meet a boy who tests the limits of their shared experiences. In their new and unsettling surroundings, July finds that the deep bond she has always had with September – a closeness that not even their mother is allowed to penetrate – is starting to change in ways she cannot entirely understand. Published by Jonathan Cape, August 13th 2020Īfter a serious case of school bullying becomes too much to bear, sisters July and September move across the country with their mother to a long-abandoned family home. Genre: Psychological Horror/ Literary Fiction ![]() Verdict: Creepy, tense, unsettling – let down by the ending. ![]()
