Fiction
For the audience that made COMMENCEMENT a New York Times
bestseller comes a novel about women making their way in the
world.
Self-doubting Ruth is coddled by her immigrant mother, who
uses food to soothe and control. Defiant Francesca believes
her heavy frame shames her Park Avenue society mother and,
to provoke her, consumes everything in sight. Lonely Opal
longs to be included in her glamorous mother’s dinner
dates—until a disturbing encounter forever changes her
desires. Finally, Setsu, a promising violinist, staves off
conflict with her jealous brother by allowing him to take
the choicest morsels from her plate—and from her future.
College brings the four young women together as suitemates,
where their stories and appetites collide. Here they make a
pact to maintain their friendships into adulthood, but each
must first find strength and her own way in the world.
