Synopsis "The Porpoise*"

"Just downright brilliant... a transcendent, transporting experience ObserverA motherless girl grows up in isolated luxury, hidden from the world by her wealthy father. She believes their life together is normal â€“ but as time passes, she has a growing sense that something between them is very wrong.She cannot escape, so she seeks solace in her books. Her favourite tales are those that conjure ancient worlds â€“ of angry gods and heroic mortals, one of whom will some day come to her rescue.Soon, she will forget where the page ends and her mind begins.A full-throttle blast of storytelling mastery Max Porter"
