Critics Review
Once I started reading Under the Harrow, I couldn’t stop. It’s like Broadchurch written by Elena Ferrante. I’ve been telling all my friends to read it-the highest compliment. Flynn Berry is a deeply interesting writer - Claire Messud, author of THE EMPEROR’S CHILDREN and THE WOMAN UPSTAIRS
Under the Harrow is a compulsively readable and atmospheric novel that I consumed almost in one sitting. The portrayal of the two sisters is subtle, original, and compelling - Rosamund Lupton, author of SISTERFlynn Berry’s writing is clear and spare yet textured and instantly immersive. You know from the get-go that something is not quite right, and this sense of unease and mystery grows and grows as you discover more about Nora’s complex relationship with her sister. I read Under the Harrow very quickly and when I wasn’t reading it I was thinking about it - Harriet Lane, author of HER and ALYS, ALWAYSWhat grabbed me by the bones and hurled me through this read-in-one-sitting novel wasn’t the plot, as compelling and tenacious and suspenseful as it is. Rather, it was Flynn Berry’s perfect, unrelenting prose. This is flawless storytelling - Jill Alexander Essbaum, author of HAUSFRAUA nail-biter that fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will no doubt love, Under the Harrow is swiftly carried along by a momentum of unraveling certainties that ramp up with every page, building to the end’s thrilling crescendo. I loved this dark, chilling book and couldn’t put it down - Suzanne Rindell, author of THE OTHER TYPISTAbout The Author
