Frankie recommends... Supper Club - Lara Williams

Frankie recommends... Get swept up with an invitation to a club that will probe into what you think it means to eat; eating socially, eating alone, eating, consuming, digesting, growing. All these verbs pack Williams’s novel with unabashed energy, political vitality and grotesque honesty that every young woman can relate to. Her style is candid, her content real and message clear; coming of age is infinitely problematic. I felt heard, seen and listened to in this fictional supper club, and I would take great pleasure in throwing cake across the room too.

If you feed a starving woman, what will she grow into?

Twenty-nine year old Roberta has spent her whole life hungry. So she invents Supper Club: a secret society for women sick of bad men and bad sex. Fed up of being told to talk less, take less, be less, they gather after dark to feast and dance through the night. But as their bodies expand, so do their horizons, their desires - and their urge to break the rules.

You look hungry. Join the club.
