Synopsis

Were some things meant to last forever? This is a life, a marriage, a funeral procession, a walk through a past to ashes and passion. Its pathos is not without humor and its understanding is not without human frailty and misunderstanding. This is a riveting chronicle of a single day in one woman's life through which the reader experiences a lifetime of revelation. In Isabelle's Appetite, Jones serves up a universally compelling story about, Isabelle, a woman whose life suddenly goes into freefall, and it is food that becomes her anchor. Jones wields her pen with amazing clarity in the story of Isabelle s life and how she tries to make sense of her relationships in the many roles she lives and is expected to live as a woman -- with a smorgasbord of unlikely foods leading the twists and turns of the tale.
