The Anger of Aubergines

Plot

Food as a passion, a gift, a means of revenge, even a source of power - these are the themes Bulbul Sharma explores in her collection of stories. Women weigh up the loss of a lover or the loss of weight; they consider whether hunger and the thought of higher things are inextricably linked; they feast and crave and die for their insatiable appetites. These stories make for entertaining reading, but, be warned, they will whet the appetite and inflame the senses.
