Book Description
Ever since her engagement, the strangest thing has been happening to Marian McAlpin: she can't eat. First meat. Then eggs, vegetables, cake, pumpkin seeds--everything! Worse yet, she has the crazy feeling that she's being eaten. Marian ought to feel consumed with passion, but she really just feels...consumed. A brilliant and powerful work rich in irony and metaphor, The Edible Woman is an unforgettable masterpiece by a true master of contemporary literary fiction.

Strange book about a woman who slowly finds she cannot eat certain foods after her engagement with her boyfriend. She begins to feel as if she herself is being eaten. I thought it was a little slow at times, but I enjoyed the ending.
