🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
A book about female rage. About trying too hard and about creating life based on others. And eating.
It's a story of a woman who is about to get married, so the tension is at its peak when he confesses his betrayal, what now?
The need to show you're up to their expectations, because you carefully fabricated that image. And godforbid she lives the life of her own lower class family. It's all represented in the food and eating.
Look at me buying good stuff from waitrose. Look at me cooking and baking fancy stuff.
Very real, it's what womanhood is today.
