Gretel, a lexicographer by trade, knows this better than most. She grew up on a houseboat with her mother, wandering the canals of Oxford and speaking a private language of their own invention. Her mother disappeared when Gretel was a teen, abandoning her to foster care, and Gretel has tried to move on, spending her days updating dictionary entries. One phone call from her mother is all it takes for the past to come rushing back. To find her, Gretel will have to recover buried memories of her final, fateful winter on the canals.

Everything Under—a debut novel whose surreal, watery landscape will resonate with fans of Fen—is a daring, moving story that will leave you unsettled and unstrung.

Book excerpt: THE MOST TALKED ABOUT BOOK OF THE YEAR ''As filthy as it is funny, you won''t be able to put it down'' Dolly Alderton ''Extremely funny, touching and wonderfully refreshing on women and sexual desire'' Marian Keyes ''You will be intoxicated by this witty and honest exploration of female desire'' Elle ''Insatiable is a story about loneliness and trying to fit in, about our desire to be loved and included, how it''s easy to confuse being wanted with being used. It''ll draw people in with the shagging, but people will stay because they''re rooting for Violet.'' Evening Standard Stuck in a dead-end job, broken-hearted, broke and estranged from her best friend: Violet''s life is nothing like she thought it would be. She wants more - better friends, better sex, a better job - and she wants it now. So, when Lottie - who looks like the woman Violet wants to be when she grows up - offers Violet the chance to join her exciting start-up, she bites. Only it soon becomes clear that Lottie and her husband Simon are not only inviting Violet into their company, they are also inviting her into their lives. Seduced by their townhouse, their expensive candles and their Friday-night sex parties, Violet cannot tear herself away from Lottie, Simon or their friends. But is this really the more Violet yearns for? Will it grant her the satisfaction she is so desperately seeking? Insatiable is about women and desire - lust, longing and the need to be loved. It is a story about being unable to tell whether you are running towards your future or simply running away from your past. The result is at once tender and sad, funny and hopeful. * ''This novel shines with dark humour, sharp intelligence, sizzling sex scenes, and a piercing portrayal of loneliness. Not even the most insatiable reader could ask for more.'' Katherine Heiny ''Filthy, funny, and raw, Insatiable is utterly addictive'' Louise O''Neill ''Come for the absolute filth and stay for the empathetic and sensitive way that Daisy Buchanan writes about all the chaos and conflict of being a young woman in a hard-edged, hard-faced world.'' Red ''A piercing insight into the unreal demands modern women place on themselves and told with real humour and energy, we love this book so much'' Stylist ''A raucous unravelling of female desire and bodily pleasures, in all their maddening complexity'' Emma Jane Unsworth ''Few books out in the early half of the year are as flat-out entertaining as Buchanan''s fizzy, filthy story of a young woman''s sexual awakening.'' i paper ''I''d call Insatiable Jilly Cooper for the Instagram generation, but that wouldn''t do this book justice'' Lauren Bravo ''Daisy brings characters to life like no other writer, pumping them full of humour, vulnerability and sexy sexy sex'' Lucy Vine ''Gloriously rude and brave about the nature of women''s desire'' Sophia Money-Coutts ''I raced through this funny, filthy and utterly compelling debut about female sexuality, ambition and vulnerability... I''m still thinking about it long after turning the final page.'' Daily Mail ''I can''t believe this is a fiction debut - she writes stories like she''s been doing it for fifty years'' Laura Jane Williams ''Insatiable is an unashamedly filthy and yet deeply sensitive exploration of female desire, aspiration and vulnerability, and Daisy is an exciting new voice in contemporary fiction.'' Hannah Beckerman ''It reminded me of Bridget Jones''s Diary - if Bridget were bisexual and Daniel Cleaver were a couple who were into group sex.'' Julie Cohen ''Erica Jong for the Instagram age.'' Keith Stuart ''Intelligent, observant prose that gives a snap-shot of life experienced by millennial women.'' Kate Sawyer ''Like going for a drink with your wisest and smuttiest friend'' Jessica Moor ''Funny, filthy ... Buchanan offers astute social observation, while the development of Violet as an ardent yet vulnerable heroine to root for makes her a millennial counterpart to Jilly Cooper''s Bella or Octavia.''

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with humor, raw emotion, a strong voice, and a brilliant dog named Sandy Koufax, When You Were Here explores the two most powerful forces known to man-death and love. Daisy Whitney brings her characters to life with a deft touch and resonating authenticity. Danny's mother lost her five-year battle with cancer three weeks before his graduation-the one day that she was hanging on to see. Now Danny is left alone, with only his memories, his dog, and his heart-breaking ex-girlfriend for company. He doesn't know how to figure out what to do with her estate, what to say for his Valedictorian speech, let alone how to live or be happy anymore. When he gets a letter from his mom's property manager in Tokyo, where she had been going for treatment, it shows a side of a side of his mother he never knew. So, with no other sense of direction, Danny travels to Tokyo to connect with his mother's memory and make sense of her final months, which seemed filled with more joy than Danny ever knew. There, among the cherry blossoms, temples, and crowds, and with the help of an almost-but-definitely-not Harajuku girl, he begins to see how it may not have been ancient magic or mystical treatment that kept his mother going. Perhaps, the secret of how to live lies in how she died.
