Book Synopsis

''Inviting, stylish and candid ... Pollard''s future, as a novelist, is very bright indeed'' The i

''Clever, warm, and funny'' Sarah Moss, The Guardian

''This isn''t the first - and most certainly won''t be the last - pandemic novel, but it might be the most brilliant'' Daily Mail

''I am sick of the future. Up to here with the future. I don''t want anything to do with it; don''t want it near me''

It 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
