An eerie, watery reimagining of the Oedipus myth set on the canals of Oxford, from the author of Fen. The book contains a story about Gretel, a lexicographer who grew up on a houseboat with her mother who disappeared when Gretel was a teen. The narrative involves her quest to find her mother, triggered by a phone call, and her confrontation with past trauma and an ominous creature called the bonak. Exploring themes of fate, free will, gender fluidity, and family relationships, this debut novel offers a surreal aquatic landscape that will resonate with fans of Fen. Does not claim to be brand new.
