The Harpy
Autor Megan Hunteren Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 sep 2020
'It's utterly compelling and I read it without pause. So precise and darkly truthful. I thought it succeeding in illuminating - with flair and originality - the damage done by betrayal.' Esther Freud
'Both timeless and timely, The Harpy is a taut and lyrical novel about cosily calibrated lives coming spectacularly undone. Compulsively absorbing yet otherworldly, both a fever dream and a gorgeous and alarming howl of rage.' Sharlene Teo, author of Ponti
'The Harpy is brilliant. Hunter imbues the everyday with apocalyptic unease. A deeply unsettling, excellent read.' Daisy Johnson, author of Everything Under
'A beautifully written, viscerally disturbing novel that turns the narrative of the cheated-on wife on its head.' Laura Kaye, author of English Animals
'In hungry, restless prose, Megan Hunter tears apart the seam between motherhood and the monstrous. She confronts the fear of female anger and asks us what happens when pain that has been swallowed through generations begins to rush to the surface.' Jessica Andrews, author of Saltwater

Descriere
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.
