Part revenge tale, part fairytale, The Harpy is an electrifying
story of marriage, infidelity and power by the author of the #1
Indie Next Pick, The End We Start From, Megan Hunter Lucy and Jake
live in a house by a field where the sun burns like a ball of fire.
Lucy has set her career aside in order to devote 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, Jake. The revelation marks a turning
point: Lucy and Jake decide to stay together, but make a special
arrangement designed to even the score and save their marriage--she
will hurt him three times. 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 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, control and revenge, of metamorphosis and
renewal.
