Her husband passed away long ago, and her cosmopolitan\ndaughter is already out the door, keen to marry and move to the city. At loose\nends, Rosa decides to transplant herself to the flat, foggy Lombardy provinces\nfrom her native Naples and there finds a way to renew herself—by opening a\nrestaurant, and in the process coming to a new appreciation of the myriad\nrelationships possible between women, from friendship to caregiving to\ncollaboration to emotional and physical love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eUnconventional in style and yet rivetingly\naccessible, \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger of Women\u003c\/i\u003e is a novel infused with the pleasures of\nthe body and the little shocks of daily life. Made up of Rosa’s observations,\nreflections, and recipes, it tracks her mental journey back to reconnect with\nher own embattled mother’s age-old wisdom, forward to her daughter’s\ninconceivable future, and laterally to the world of Rosa's new community of\nlovers and customers. A tribute not only to the tradition of women's writing on\nhearth and home but to the legacy of such boundary-breaking feminist writers as\nGertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, and Helene Cixous, \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger of Women\u003c\/i\u003e is\nnothing less than a literary feast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marosia Castaldi","offers":[{"title":"And Other Stories |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2023-12-15","offer_id":44230040322303,"sku":"9781913505868","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_70115ef3-1374-470f-bc3b-fd1b015bcb5e.jpg?v=1692990683","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781913505868","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
