Beschreibung

<p><b>'Vivid as fireworks ... Both terrifying and exhilarating' </b>Doireann Ní Ghríofa, author of <i>A Ghost in the Throat</i><br><br><b>'Funny and sharp ... A hungry book, looking everywhere and seeing everything' </b><i>Observer</i><br><br>In a time more turbulent than any of us could have ever imagined, a woman is attempting to write a book about prophecy in the ancient world.<br><br>Navigating the tightening grip of lockdown, a marriage in crisis, and a ten-year-old son who seems increasingly unreachable, she becomes fixated on our many forms of divination and prediction: on oracles, tarot cards and tea leaves and the questions we have always asked as we scroll and click and rage against our fates.<br><br>But in doing so she fails to notice the future creeping into the heart of her own home. For despite our best intentions - our sacrifices and our bargains with the gods - time, certainty and, sometimes, those we love, can still slip away ...<br><br>Heartbreakingly relatable and achingly funny <i>Delphi </i>is both a snapshot and a time capsule, deftly capturing our pasts, our presents, and how we keep on going in a world that is ever more uncertain and absurd.<br><br><b>'Impressive ... What good fiction is meant to do' </b><i>The New York Times</i><br><br><b>'Bold, brave and uncompromising, Pollard has found a way to write about the last couple of years which is both truthful and enjoyable to read, which I didn't think was possible' </b>Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of <i>Everyone is Still Alive</i></p>
