The Harpy
Lucy and Jake live in a house by a field where the sun burns like a ball of fire. 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. 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.
It is a novel of love, marriage and its failures, of power and revenge, of metamorphosis and renewal. 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.
