Review:
This novel is a psychological journey into the heart of Ruth Simon, a young woman struggling to overcome the eating disorder that nearly killed her in her teenage years and still haunts her in adulthood. Although Ruth has stopped starving herself, she is still hungry all the time. Told through the eyes and voice of her lover, Joseph, Eve's Apple is about the search for the elusive cause of Ruth's unrequited appetite, and about the essential nature of desire and longing that everyone experiences in one form or another.
From the Inside Flap:
This poignant story of a vulnerable young woman, her lover, and the devastating disease that both unites and threatens to destroy them offers a raw and sentimental journey into the dark world of hunger and denial. Eve's Apple is an unforgettable first novel, an intricate meditation on the nature of hunger--for food, for knowledge, and for love.
