Description
This intimate memoir-in-essays explores the many forms of hunger—physical, emotional, sensual, and spiritual—and the ways food can offer comfort, connection, and understanding. Moving through formative experiences, relationships, travel, and moments of solitude, it reveals how meals and cravings become inseparable from memory and identity. Lyrical, candid, and richly evocative, the book transforms personal history into a profound meditation on nourishment, desire, loss, and the pleasures of living.
