'Just downright brilliant... a transcendent transporting experience' Observer A motherless
girl grows up in isolated luxury hidden from the world by her wealthy father. She believes
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
