From the acclaimed author of The Seep, comes a provocative and
astonishing new novel where three women from a strange new world
seek to break free of a society that wants to constrain their
attitudes to food, sex and their own bodies.
In the quaint religious town of Seagate, abstaining
from food brings one closer to God. Â But Beatrice Bolano is
hungry. She craves the forbidden: butter, flambé,
marzipan. As Seagate takes increasingly extreme measures to
regulate every calorie its citizens consume, Beatrice must make a
choice: give up her secret passion for cooking or
leave the only community she has known. Â
Elsewhere, Reiko Rimando has left her modest roots for a college
tech scholarship in the big city. A flawless student,
she is set up for success . . . until her school pulls her funding,
leaving her to face either a mountain of debt or a humiliating
return home. But Reiko is done being at the mercy
of the system. She forges a third path—outside
of the law.  With the guidance of a
mysterious cookbook written by a kitchen maid centuries ago,
Beatrice and Reiko each grasp for a life of freedom—something
more easily imagined than achieved in a world dominated by
catastrophic corporate greed. Â A startling fable
of the entwined perils of capitalism, body politics,
and the stigmas women face for appetites of every kind,
Chana Porter’s profound new novel
explores the reclamation of pleasure as a revolutionary
act.
