Abstract

This novel explores the relationship between two sisters who grapple with emotional, physical and psychological hunger. Giselle is a twenty-one year-old, anorexic, Pre-Med student. Holly is a fourteen year-old athlete who, while trying to come to terms with her sister's anorexia, is discovering her own sexuality. In both the present and in memory, the sisters share a close yet estranged relationship with their parents, one of whom is dead.
