This cult classic novel about anorexia asks the question “How much space does a woman feel entitled to take up in the world?” With nightmarish accuracy and bleak wit, Shute chronicles the traumatic hospitalization of a young woman who has almost starved herself to death. Refusing to see that she is endangering her own life, Josie, a 25-year-old graduate student, imagines, instead, that she is approaching perfection. Exquisitely written and darkly comic, this novel will resonate with any woman whose life has been diminished by the tyranny of thinness—and with anyone trying to understand such a condition. In this riveting novel, Shute pierces to the heart of our contemporary obsession with food and body image.
