The Harpy

Angebote / Angebote:

Reading The Harpy I was utterly spellbound. Her dark humour and pointillist prose puts her in league with Lydia Davis and Jenny Offil.' Olivia Sudjic, author of Sympathy'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
