Part revenge tale, part fairytale, The Harpy is an electrifying story of marriage, infidelity and power by the author of the #1 Indie Next Pick, The End We Start From, Megan Hunter

The Harpy

A startlingly beautiful story of a family's survival, The End We Start From is a haunting but hopeful dystopian vision of a familiar world made dangerous and unstable. 'Engrossing, compelling' - Naomi Alderman, author of The Power 'I was moved, terrified, uplifted – sometimes all three at once' - Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl With a Pearl Earring Megan Hunter's honed and spare prose paints an imagined future as realistic as it is frightening. Though the country is falling apart around them and its people are forced to become refugees, this family’s world – of new life and new hope – sings with love. In the midst of a mysterious environmental crisis, as London is submerged below flood waters, a woman gives birth to her first child. Days later, the family are forced to leave their home in search of safety. As they move from place to place, shelter to shelter, their journey traces both fear and wonder as the baby's small fists grasp at the things he sees, as he grows and stretches, thriving and content against all the odds. With Benedict Cumberbatch calling it ‘a stunning tale of motherhood’, film rights have been sold to his production company SunnyMarch.

From a daring new talent, Megan Hunter, The End We Start From is a "beautifully spare, haunting meditation" (Emily St. John Mandel) on young motherhood, exile, and love in the midst of an all too likely environmental catastrophe

The End We Start from

Days of Light 

Nel pieno di un’alluvione senza precedenti, una giovane donna dà alla luce un bambino. Londra, sommersa dalle acque, diventa inabitabile. Davanti alla catastrofe ambientale i genitori sono costretti a fuggire per cercare riparo, spostandosi di rifugio in rifugio, affrontando precarietà, solitudine, abbandono. In uno scenario distopico in cui viene a mancare ogni punto di riferimento, è la responsabilità data dall’essere madre, compito disperato in quelle circostanze, a ricalibrare ogni priorità e ad alimentare la tenacia di una donna che non vuole arrendersi, che continua a lottare nonostante tutto. Un romanzo poetico e commovente che tratteggia un futuro minaccioso, che racconta la maternità, il miracolo di una vita che cresce, l’amore incondizionato, totale, unica certezza quando tutto sembra crollare. Un inno alla vita e alla speranza.

La fine da cui partiamo

Vom Ende an

final del que partimos

Eine Frau, die Erzählerin, bekommt ihr erstes Kind. Gleichzeitig sucht eine gewaltige Naturkatastrophe das Land heim. Eine Flut überschwemmt weite Teile Englands, Feuer brechen aus. Die Frau und ihr Gefährte müssen mit ihrem kleinen Sohn den Ort verlassen, Zuflucht suchen, sich auf eine Insel flüchten. Die kleine Familie wird getrennt. Der Schrecken eines sich steigernden Umweltdramas und die Intimität und das Glück einer Mutter-Kind-Liebe entfalten sich parallel. Mit den Augen eines Neugeborenen wird eine Welt entdeckt, die sich zugleich womöglich zu verabschieden droht. Lyrisch und lakonisch, durchsetzt mit Passagen, die sich wie Bibelzitate lesen, von archaischer Wucht und poetischer Zartheit, klug, komisch, dann wieder wie in Stein gemeißelt - einen solchen Text hat man lange nicht mehr zu lesen bekommen. Wie ein weibliches Gegenstück zu Cormac McCarthys "Die Straße", gleichzeitig beklemmend wahrscheinlich und doch von geschichtsloser Wahrheit, präzise und schön - hier ist eine neue Autorin zu entdecken!

High-conflict divorce is just about the most devastating, soul-wrecking experience imaginable. The unrelenting chaos and pain can leave you exhausted and despairing.
