Khristen is a teenager who, her mother believes, was marked by 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''s searing, deadpan wit, Harrow is a tale of paradise lost and the reasons to try and recover something of it.
