An up-and-coming cookbook editor, shes got lovely friends and a handsome fiancé, Kit, whose rarefied family she (mostly) likes, despite their upper-class eccentricities. One of the many, many things Kit loves about Piglet is the delicious, unfathomably elaborate meals shes always cooking.But when Kit confesses a horrible betrayal two weeks before theyre set to be married, Piglet finds herself suddenly . . . hungry. Torn between a life shes always wanted and the ravenousness that comes with not getting what she knows she deserves, Piglet is, by the day of her wedding, undone, but also ready to look beyond the lies we tell ourselves to get by.A stylish, uncommonly clever novel about the things we want and the things we think we want, Piglet is both an examination of womens often complicated relationship with food and a celebration of the messes life makes for us.
