Summary:
'Hinds depiction of Piglets frantic appetite is piercing, capturing her insatiable need for the lushly described food. This is a listen like slightly burnt caramelsharp and dark, yet still luscious.'AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner)
An elegant, razor-sharp debut about women's ambitions and appetitesand the truth about having it all
Outside of a childhood nickname she cant shake, Piglets rather pleased with how her lifes turned out. An up-and-coming cookbook editor at a London publishing house, shes got lovely, loyal friends and a handsome fiancé, Kit, whose rarefied family she actually, most of the time, likes, despite their upper-class eccentricities. One of the many, many things Kit loves about Piglet is the delicious, unfathomably elaborate meals shes always cooking.
But when Kit confesses a horrible betrayal two weeks before theyre set to be married, Piglet finds herself suddenlyhungry. The couple decides to move forward with the wedding as planned, but as it nears and Piglet balances family expectations, pressure at work, and her quest to make the perfect cake, she finds herself increasingly unsettled, behaving in ways even she cant explain. Torn between a life shes always wanted and the ravenousness that comes with not getting what she knows she deserves, Piglet is, by the day of her wedding, undone, but also ready to look beyond the lies we sometimes tell ourselves to get by.
A stylish, uncommonly clever novel about the things we want and the things we think we want, Piglet is both an examination of womens often complicated relationship with food and a celebration of the messes life sometimes makes for us.
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
