Hungry

Soaring with compassion, intelligence and hard-won wisdom, this standout book confirms that O'Sullivan is arguably Ireland's most important contemporary voice. * LOUISE KENNEDY, author of Trespasses * One of the most remarkable people you will ever meet. * Guardian * Utterly compelling, deeply moving and brilliantly written, Hungry is a raw, insightful look at women's complex relationship with their bodies. Every woman needs to read this book. Every man needs to read this book. * EDEL COFFEY, author of In Her Place * Moving, uplifting, brave, heroic. * Nuala McGovern, Woman's Hour, BBC * O'Sullivan is such a vivid, empathetic storyteller who writes so beautifully not just about the correlation between the body and poverty and abuse, but the intersection between sex, body image, culture and dieting. I doubt there's a woman alive who won't immediately see herself in these pages. * TANYA SWEENEY, journalist and author of Esther is Now Following You * Hungry is more than a book: it's a song, a map, a journey. Amazing. I couldn't put it down. * ELAINE FEENEY, author of As You Were * A beautiful telling of determination despite the odds. * Irish Times * Hungry is a raw and brutal account of one woman's battle with her own body, as profound and honest as anything I have ever read. * LIZ NUGENT, author of Strange Sally Diamond * Raw and remarkable. * Irish Independent *
