Book description
Marian is determined to be ordinary. She lays her head gently on the
shoulder of her serious fiancee and quietly awaits marriage. But she
didn't count on an inner rebellion that would rock her stable routine,
and her digestion. Marriage a la mode, Marian discovers, is something
she literally can't stomach ... The Edible Woman is a funny, engaging
novel about emotional cannibalism, men and women, and the desire to be
consumed.
