Khristen is a teenager who, her mother believes, was marked for greatness as a baby when she died for a moment, then came back to life. After Khristen' s boarding school for gifted teens closes its doors, and her mother disappears, she ranges across the dead landscape and finds a ' resort' on the shores of a mysterious, putrid lake the elderly residents there call ' Big Girl' . 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 nature' s beauty. Rivetingly strange and delivered with Williams' searing, deadpan wit, Harrow is a tale of paradise lost and the reasons to try and recover something of it.
