An electric contemporary reimagining of the myth of Persephone and Demeter set over the course of one summer on a lush private island, exploring who holds the power in a modern underworld. Camp counsellor Cory Ansel, eighteen and aimless, afraid to face her high-strung single mother in New York, is no longer sure where home is when the father of one of her campers offers an alternative. The CEO of a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company, Rolo Picazo is middle-aged, divorced, magnetic. He is also intoxicated by Cory. When Rolo proffers a childcare job (and an NDA), Cory quiets an internal warning and allows herself to be ferried to his private island off the coast of Maine. Plied with luxury and opiates manufactured by his company, she continues to tell herself she’s in charge. Her mother, Emer, head of a teetering agricultural NGO, senses otherwise. When her daughter seemingly disappears, Emer crosses land and sea to heed a cry for help she alone is convinced she hears. Alternating between the two women’s perspectives, Fruit of the Dead incorporates its mythic inspiration with a light touch and devastating precision. The result is a lush and haunting story that explores love, attraction, control, obliteration and America’s own late capitalist mythos. Advance praise for Fruit of the Dead 'A gripping literary thriller, Fruit of the Dead presents a coming-of-age tale that is so well-observed and intoxicating that the reader will lose track of time, but won't forget how they spent it. Egan and Cline fans: assemble.' Caoilinn Hughes, author of The Wild Laughter ‘Ancient Greece meets Succession by way of Emma Cline, Fruit of the Dead is a deliciously dark examination of agency and power, and the savage complexity of the mother-daughter bond.’ Ruth Gilligan, author of The Butchers ‘Mesmerised and profoundly alarmed, I read this in one go; I’ve been haunted by it ever since. I’ve passionately loved Lyon’s writing for years, and Fruit of the Dead further confirms what I’ve long suspected: I want to lunge to read anything she writes.’ R. O. Kwon, author of The Incendiaries ‘Irresistible and devastating. Lyon has spun an utterly absorbing, lush and terror-laced retelling of an ancient, archetypal tale – a young woman tempted and taken, a mother’s feral grief – that is both timeless and crisply contemporary.' Melissa Febos, author of Girlhood,Binding: Hardback,

Great product. Sun protection and hydration
I just discovered this brand a year or two ago and have not been disappointed in their products. This item specifically I can feel my face a lot softer all throughout the day. I bought it for sunscreen so that was just an added bonus. I’ve finished one bottle now and started my second one. I recommend

Beautiful finish, but not for sensitive eyes
It has a very beautiful dewy finish on the face. I wish I could keep using it however it is not good for very sensitive eyes, causes extreme itching and watering to the point where I cannot open my eyes.

Just what we needed
I am in love with this sunscreen. My daughter has very oily skin and she has tried many other susnscreens. All of them cause her skin to break out except this one. She loves putting g it on and even says it’s “kind of satisfying to put on because it disappears instantly”. It’s been working great and she hasn’t been getting sunburnt. I would definitely buy it again!!

Great sun protection for high elevation!
Excellent skin care product for those of us that spend lots of time outdoors in the mountains! My dermatologist recommended this product, and it definitely has been protecting my face while cycling, hiking, kayaking, and just hanging out in the sun!
