A dark and astonishing fairy tale, at once mythical and otherworldly and fiercely contemporary. A novel about love, marriage and its failures, power and revenge, metamorphosis and renewal. Lucy and Jake live in a house next to a field where the sun burns like a ball of fire. She works from home, adapting where she has gotten her routine to the children and to the house itself, which comforts her like a sly old friend. She until, one day, she receives a call from a stranger with a devastating message: her wife is having an affair with Lucy's husband, and she wants her to know about it. A revelation that inevitably has consequences. Lucy and Jake decide to stay together, with a strange modified condition to maintain some balance and thus save their marriage: she will hurt him three times. Jake won't know when, or how. As the pair undergo a delicate game of crime and punishment, Lucy herself begins to change, surrendering to a transformation of mind and body from which there is no return.
