Overview
Ā
"She practices ... camouflage, except that instead of adapting to its environment, Williamsās imagination, by remaining true to itself, reveals new colorations in the ecology around her.ā āA.O. Scott, The New York Times Book Review
Khristen is a teenager who, her mother believes, was marked by greatness as a baby when she died for a moment and then came back to life. After Khristenās failing boarding school for gifted teens closes its doors, and she finds that her mother has disappeared, she ranges across the dead landscape and washes up at a āresortā on the shores of a mysterious, putrid lake the elderly residents there call āBig Girl.ā
Ā
In a rotting honeycomb of rooms, these old ones plot actions to punish corporations and people they consider culpable in the destruction of the final scraps of natureās beauty. What will Khristen and Jeffrey, the precocious ten-year-old boy she meets there, learn from this āgabby seditious lot, in the worst of health but with kamikaze hearts, an army of the aged and ill, determined to refresh, through crackpot violence, a plundered earthā?
Ā
Rivetingly strange and beautiful, and delivered with Williamsās searing, deadpan wit, Harrow is their intertwined tale of paradise lost and of their reasonsāagainst all reasonablenessāto try and recover something of it.
