Description ▲
This novel is a psychological journey into the heart of Ruth Simon, a young woman struggling to overcome the eating disorder that nearly killed her in her teenage years and still haunts her in adulthood. Although Ruth has stopped starving herself, she is still hungry all the time. Told through the eyes and voice of her lover, Joseph, Eve's Apple is about the search for the elusive cause of Ruth's unrequited appetite, and about the essential nature of desire and longing that everyone experiences in one form or another.
