Description
In 17th-century London, a young woman named Anne is drawn into a world of dark secrets and forbidden desires when she becomes the companion to a wealthy and enigmatic woman. As Anne navigates the treacherous social landscape, she uncovers a hidden society obsessed with gluttony and excess, where appetites are indulged at a dangerous cost. This novel explores themes of desire, control, and the corrupting influence of power, all while immersing the reader in the visceral and often unsettling atmosphere of the past. Blakemore's prose is both sharp and evocative, crafting a story that is as intellectually stimulating as it is viscerally compelling.
