In a world where abstaining from food brings one closer to God, two young women
use the guidance of a mysterious cookbook written by a kitchen maid centuries ago
to help them grasp for a life of freedom?something more easily imagined than
achieved in a world dominated by catastrophic corporate greed.
A startling fable of the entwined perils of capitalism, body politics, and the stigmas
women face for appetites of every kind, Chana Porter's profound new novel
explores the reclamation of pleasure as a revolutionary act.
