The Harpy dives into a women’s mind when she finds out her husband is having an affair. Lucy having to take care of their two children while holding it together, has decided to deal with this affair the only way she feels is plausible, by hurting her husband three times. Each time gets a little worse for the husband, but somehow seems to “mend” their relationship, until one day she completely slips and becomes something she has always desired to be. A great read that shows exactly what any kind of grief or hurt can do to a human especially when the individual has been “forgotten” about for so long. Enjoyed the book and could not put it down.
