From the acclaimed author of The End We Start From, The Harpy is a
fierce tale of love, betrayal and revenge. 'The Harpy is brilliant
. . . A deeply unsettling, excellent read.' Daisy Johnson Lucy and
Jake live in a house by a field where the sun burns like a ball of
fire. Lucy works from home but devotes her life to the children, to
their finely tuned routine, and to the house itself, which comforts
her like an old, sly friend. But then a man calls one afternoon
with a shattering message: his wife has been having an affair with
Lucy's husband, he wants her to know. The revelation marks a
turning point: Lucy and Jake decide to stay together, but in a
special arrangement designed to even the score and save their
marriage, she will hurt him three times. Jake will not know when
the hurt is coming, nor what form it will take. As the couple
submit to a delicate game of crime and punishment, Lucy herself
begins to change, surrendering to a transformation of both mind and
body from which there is no return. Told in dazzling, musical
prose, The Harpy by Megan Hunter is a dark, staggering fairy tale,
at once mythical and otherworldly and fiercely contemporary. It is
a novel of love, marriage and its failures, of power and revenge,
of metamorphosis and renewal.
