‘Witty, savage and poignant’ NIGELLA LAWSON
'Humane and deeply, darkly humorous' MARINA KEMP, author of UNWILDING
'Gorgeous, mesmerising' CLAIRE POWELL, author of ALL IN
Sink your teeth into a slice of family drama with this deliciously funny novel about sisterhood, secrets and the things you can’t stomach.
Matilda knows about hunger. She knows how to control it, too. Working at one of Sydney’s buzziest restaurants, she keeps her head down, her body in check and her cravings – including for her celebrity chef boss, Colson – firmly under wraps.
But when her younger half-sister Lara crashes back into town, suddenly the past is back on the menu. As long-buried family secrets begin to boil over, Matilda’s carefully compartmentalised life starts to unravel.
'I devoured it in a weekend' FELICITY CLOAKE
'Singularly rich and moreish' GRAINNE O'HARE, author of THIRST TRAP
‘Brilliant on how repressing the past rather than dealing with it means it’s always there, ready to ruin the present too’ Daily Mail
‘An incredible read about families, body image and the importance of letting go’ The Sun
‘A pressure cooker ready to explode’ Mail on Sunday
‘Packed full of gripping family dysfunction, we devoured this’ Heat Magazine
