About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Her life is so full, so why is she hungry?

For Piglet – an unshakable childhood nickname – getting married is her opportunity to reinvent. Together, Kit and Piglet are the picture of domestic bliss – effortless hosts, planning a covetable wedding ... But if a life looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Thirteen days before they are due to be married, Kit reveals an awful truth, cracking the façade Piglet has created. It has the power to strip her of the life she has so carefully built, so smugly shared. To do something about it would be to self-destruct. But what will it cost her to do nothing?

As the hours count down to their ‘big day’, Piglet is torn between a growing appetite and the desire to follow the recipe, follow the rules. Surely, with her husband, she could be herself again. Wouldn’t it be a waste for everything to curdle now?

Piglet is the searing, unforgettable and original debut which is set to take listeners by storm in 2024.

Critic Reviews

‘It takes audacity, all kinds of courage to produce a novel as ferocious and weird as Piglet. The narrative accelerates like nothing else I've read, opening onto dead-end domestic conformity and then driving us all the way out into the wildernesses, where the possibility for liberation, the fulfilment of desires might be discovered. It made me so hungry’ Lamorna Ash, author of Dark, Salt, Clear

‘A high-wire exploration of control, pleasure and desire’ Chloë Ashby

‘A book that tears at the surface of things to reveal the vast, messy truth of a body with a beating heart’ Catherine Newman

A big sumptuous bite of contemporary fiction

Overall rating - 3.5
A literary fiction version of the '90 Days Fiancee' TV show? But jokes aside, would I tag this as fiction? A rom-com? A recipe book? Or a horror book highlighting class, female identity, family dynamics, and human behavior? From the discomforting nature of the protagonist's name to her inner turmoil delivered through her approach to food, the author withholds much crucial information—but oh, it is one pressure-cooked narrative propulsion, delicious, addictive devour and savor! I finished the book in one big bite. Plus, that cover!!
