A startling debut about the extraordinary end of a marriage and its
very strange aftermath.
Meet Lizzie Prain. She is an ordinary housewife and lives with her
lovely dog and her husband, who is a bit of a difficult fellow, in
a quiet cottage in British country side. She's a wonderful cook.
She enjoys her garden. And, occasionally, she makes cakes for the
village parties.
No one has seen Lizzie's husband, Jacob, for a few days. That's
because last Monday and Lizzie snapped and cracked him on the head
with her garden shovel. No one quite misses Jacob though, and
Lizzie surely didn't kill him on purpose. And now that she has the
chance to live beyond his shadow, she won't neglect her good
fortune. Over the course of the following month, with a body to get
rid of and few fail-proof options at hand, Lizzie will channel her
most practical instincts and do what she does best: she'll cook
Jacob, and she'll eat him. But when Lizzie inadvertently befriends
an isolated misfit, she will be tested: Will Lizzie turn to this
new person for solace and abandon her desperate plan or will her
new friend be an unwitting accessory to her crime?
Dark, unexpectedly funny, and achingly human, "Season to Taste "is
a deliciously subversive treat. In Lizzie Prain, Natalie Young has
created one of the most remarkable and surprising heroines in
fiction.
