Food for Thought is a fantastic jump into the mythology of a lesser-known deity, Limos the Deity of Hunger and Famine. The prose captured the atmosphere of legends wonderfully and Ferrante perfectly depicts the righteousness and spite familiar to the characters from Greek mythology.
It weaves into a story of 'more than meets the eye', embodying the Goddesses - and their relationship - within the story with a personality that resonates with more mortal stories, despite the brief length of the book. This could easily have been developed into a full-length novel but no doubt holds its own at its current size as well.
