The Anger of Aubergines: Stories of Women and Food

Synopsis

Food as a passion, a gift, a means of revenge, even a source of power -- these are the themes Bulbal 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.
