The Hunger of Women
The Hunger of Women | By Marosia Castaldi | Translated by Jamie Richards
Rosa is alone. Her husband passed away long ago and her daughter is already out the door, keen to marry and move to the city. So Rosa decides to move from her native Naples to flat, foggy Lombardy. There, she finds a way to renew herself, by opening a restaurant, and in the process coming to a new appreciation of the myriad relationships possible between women. From friendship to caregiving to collaboration to emotional and physical love.
Unconventional in style and yet rivetingly accessible, The Hunger of Women is a novel infused with the pleasures of the body and the little shocks of daily life.
