A rapturous novel about a young chef whose discovery of pleasure
alters her life and, indirectly, the world 'A sharp, sensual piece
of art. When I read I'm always searching for pleasure, for the
want, and this book helped me feel something' RAVEN LEILANI 'It's

ambitious, and haunting novel' GABRIELLE ZEVIN 'Truly exceptional'
ROXANE GAY A smog has spread. Food crops are disappearing. A chef
escapes her career in London to take a job at a decadent
mountaintop colony seemingly free of the world's troubles. There,
her enigmatic employer and his visionary daughter have built a lush

pleasures of taste, touch and her own body. In this atmosphere of
hidden wonders and seductive violence, the chef's boundaries
undergo a thrilling erosion. Soon she is pushed to the center of a
