Vivid as fireworks ... Both terrifying and exhilarating Doireann N Ghrofa, author of A Ghost in the ThroatFunny and sharp ... A hungry book, looking everywhere and seeing everything ObserverIn 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 tenyearold 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.Impressive ... What good fiction is meant to do The New York TimesBold, 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 Alive
