The Harpy

This was such a unique read written in a poetic and reflective way. I could really empathise with Lucy who was struggling to find the right balance between home life, work life and finding time for herself. Her mental health and self-worth take a huge hit after finding out her husband has had an affair. This vulnerable, raw side we see of Lucy felt really intimate, like a conversation you would have with a close friend.

The three revenge acts that Lucy embarks on are quite shocking and brings a darkness to the novel. The mythical creature, the Harpy, was cleverly woven through the novel and something that I was anticipating. A quirky, interesting read about love, marriage, power, revenge and renewal.
