Hazell, Lottie: Piglet

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK ¿ A BELLETRIST BOOK CLUB PICK ¿ AN NPR 2024 "BOOKS WE LOVE" "If I owned a bookstore, I'd hand-sell Piglet to everyone." -Jennifer Weiner, The New York Times Book Review A "sensuous" ( The New Yorker ) debut about women's ambitions and appetites-and the truth about having it all Outside of a childhood nickname she can't shake, Piglet's rather pleased with how her life's turned out. An up-and-coming cookbook editor, she's got lovely friends and a handsome fiancé, Kit, whose rarefied family she (mostly) likes, despite their upper-class eccentricities. One of the many , many things Kit loves about Piglet is the delicious, unfathomably elaborate meals she's always cooking. But when Kit confesses a horrible betrayal two weeks before they're set to be married, Piglet finds herself suddenly . . . hungry. Torn between a life she's always wanted and the ravenousness that comes with not getting what she knows she deserves, Piglet is, by the day of her wedding, undone, but also ready to look beyond the lies we tell ourselves to get by. A stylish, uncommonly clever novel about the things we want and the things we think we want, Piglet is both an examination of women's often complicated relationship with food and a celebration of the messes life makes for us.
