Consider the Feast: A Novel
New York City is obsessed with food. Especially in the streets of The Quarter, every imaginable delicacy is made and devoured, every unspeakable hunger is fulfilled. But eventually Talia finds herself face to face with the darkness under its surface—in both the privileged patrons who feast there, and the third-world laborers who feed them.
