Description
In a world where smog and failing food systems are erasing the future, a struggling chef flees a dying city for a secluded mountaintop colony where the air is clear, ingredients are abundant, and pleasure feels newly possible. As she settles into a decadent life curated by an enigmatic employer and his visionary daughter, her senses—and her sense of self—begin to shift, blurring the lines between comfort and complicity. Told with C Pam Zhang’s inventive, sharply observant style, the novel follows her as she is drawn toward a larger, unsettling project that aims to reshape the world beyond the plate. At its core, this is a provocative exploration of desire and deception, privilege and faith, and the ethics of choosing joy when survival is on the line.
