520    An electric contemporary reimagining of the myth of 
       Persephone and Demeter set over the course of one summer 
       on a lush private island, about addiction and sex, family 
       and independence, and who holds the power in a modern 
       underworld. Camp counselor 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. 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. With her 
       daughter seemingly vanished, Emer crosses land and sea to 
       heed a cry for help she alone is convinced she hears. 
       Alternating between the two women's perspectives, Rachel 
       Lyon's Fruit of the Dead incorporates its mythic 
       inspiration with a light touch and devastating precision. 
       The result is a tale that explores love, control, 
       obliteration, and America's own late capitalist mythos. 
       Lyon's reinvention of Persephone and Demeter's story makes
       for a haunting and ecstatic novel that vibrates with lush 
       abandon. Readers will not soon forget it.
