After reading The Harpy by Megan Hunter I was keen to try her debut. It’s set in a flooded London and follows a woman who gives birth to a much longed for baby. Immediately after, they are forced to leave home and navigate a dangerous Britain where its people are refugees. The novel is an otherworldly, dreamlike story about maternal love, survival and the hidden strength of women.
