Описание: Inviting, stylish and candid ... Pollards future, as a novelist, is very bright indeed The iClever, warm, and funny Sarah Moss, The GuardianThis isnt the first - and most certainly wont be the last - pandemic novel, but it might be the most brilliant Daily MailI am sick of the future. Up to here with the future.

I dont want anything to do with it; dont want it near meIt is 2020 and 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. 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. 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 ... Heartbreakingly relatable and achingly funny Delphi 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. Delphi is a compact miracle of a book Evie Wyld, author of The Bass RockBold, 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 didnt think was possible Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of Everyone is Still AliveDark and dangerous, disturbed and disturbing in equal measure - I loved it Anna Hope, author of Expectation
