Description: Rosa midway through life is alone. Her husband passed away long ago and her cosmopolitan daughter is already out the door keen to marry and move to the city. At loose ends Rosa decides to transplant herself to the flat foggy Lombardy provinces from her native Naples and there 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. Made up of Rosa's observations reflections and recipes it tracks her mental journey back to reconnect with her own embattled mother's age - old wisdom forward to her daughter's inconceivable future and laterally to the world of Rosa's new community of lovers and customers. A tribute not only to the tradition of women's writing on hearth and home but to the legacy of such boundary - breaking feminist writers as Gertrude Stein Virginia Woolf and Helene Cixous The Hunger of Women is nothing less than a literary feast. Marosia Castaldi's project would seem to be precisely that of revealing the wealth that resides in a woman's domestic microcosm and the wisdom and passions that can be read among the ingredients of her kitchen.
