Supper Club


Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag meets Nora Ephron's Heartburn in this savagely funny and painfully truthful tale of hunger and friendship, bodies and the space they take up in the world. 'In the search for a new literary star, Lara Williams is the name that keeps cropping up' Stylist 'Outrageously good' Sophie Mackintosh, author of The Water Cure 'The voice feels akin to Sally Rooney's: colloquial, precise, at once uneasy about its place in the world and determined to stand up for itself' Lara Feigel, Guardian 'Wise, generous, exquisite' Andrea Long Chu, The New York Times 'Utterly perfect on loneliness, isolation, friendship, love, appetite and body image' Marian Keyes Twenty-nine year old Roberta has spent her whole life hungry - until the day she invents Supper Club. Supper Club is a secret society for hungry women. Women who are sick of bad men and bad sex, of hinted expectations to talk less, take less, be less. So they gather after dark and feast until they are sick. They drink and dance and roar. And, month by month, their bodies expand. At the centre of the Supper Club stands Roberta - cynical yet anxious, precocious and lost. She is seeking the answer to a simple question: if you feed a starving woman, what will she grow into? This is a story about the hunger that never goes away. And it is a story about the people who make us what we are - who lead us astray and ultimately save us. You look hungry. Join the club. 'The most visceral, satisfying, wildly indulgent thing I've read in years - about growing up and learning how to embody conflicting desires, as a woman and an animal. I adored Supper Club' Emma Jane Unsworth, author of Animals 'Fantastic. Funny and incisive with some of the best food writing I've read. I love it' - Caroline O'Donoghue, author of Promising Young Women

Supper Club


WINNER of the GUARDIAN 'NOT THE BOOKER' PRIZE 2019 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR - Vogue, TIME, Vulture, Woman and Home, and many more 'Subversive, radical, written with total glee and rollicking sense of unlimited possibility. Williams is one to watch' Stylist If you feed a starving woman, what will she grow into? Twenty-nine year old Roberta has spent her whole life hungry. So she invents Supper Club: a secret society for women sick of bad men and bad sex. Fed up of being told to talk less, take less, be less, they gather after dark to feast and dance through the night. But as their bodies expand, so do their horizons, their desires - and their urge to break the rules. You look hungry. Join the club. 'Superb... Hilariously funny and deeply moving' Guardian Not the Booker Prize 'Engrossing, ambitious, joyful as well as dark - which is so close to the bone and so necessary. I can't wait to read her next book' Emilie Pine, author of Notes to Self 'Cool and knowing, jam-packed with cultural references, not to mention mouthwatering recipes' Metro 'Daring, funny, humane, delightful. She's the real thing' Sam Jordison, Guardian 'For reading while eating in the bath and licking your lips. There's no other book to read this month' Lit Hub 'Darkly delicious. A celebration of female power and friendship' Sunday Mirror 'Riotous, bold, wild and witty' Sunday Express

The Odyssey


Meet Ingrid. She works on a gargantuan luxury cruise liner, where she spends her days reorganizing the merchandise and waiting for long-term guests to drop dead in the changing rooms. On her days off, she disembarks from the ship and gets blind drunk on whatever the local alcohol is. It's not a bad life. And it distracts her from thinking about the other life she left behind five years ago. Until one day she is selected for the employee mentorship scheme - an initiative run by the ship's mysterious captain and self-anointed lifestyle guru, Keith, who pushes Ingrid further than she thought possible. But sooner or later, she will have to ask herself: how far is too far? Utterly original, mischievous and thought-provoking, The Odyssey is a merciless takedown of consumer capitalism and our anxious, ill-fated quests for something to believe in. And as its title suggests, it is a voyage that will eventually lead its unlikely heroine all the way home. Though she'd do almost anything to avoid getting there...
