"I thought about how I was carrying only that weight, how I was responsible for no weight other than my own. All I had to carry through life was myself."
I mistakenly absorbed the information that this was a female cannibalism novel and was pleasantly surprised and intrigued when I realised it wasn't! There are a lot of different ideas here but for the most part I enjoyed it. The university strands were at times very moving and familiar. There was something less than cohesive about the novel as a whole but ultimately I did enjoy the character work and luscious descriptions of food preparation.
