'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.
