Über diesen Titel

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 wedding, 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?

‘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
‘It takes audacity, all kinds of courage to produce a novel as ferocious as Piglet. It made me so hungry’ Lamorna Ash

Kritikerstimmen

Very wise, and so wonderful on food and cooking it should probably come with a hunger trigger-warning. I loved it.
A best debut novel of 2024
A cunning critique of the expectations that society continues to heap on young women.
A deliciously dark tour de force
Some novels just get food right ... Hazell understands just how connected culinary and literary pleasures are ... [There is] much to devour in Piglet: set scenes of stomach-churning awkwardness, razor-sharp analysis of class, even an unforgettable description of food on the verge of rot.
Dark, witty and very well-written (the descriptions of food are reminiscent of Nora Ephron’s Heartburn), Piglet is a satire that explores everything from class to body image
Brilliant on appetite, ambition, secrecy and shame. Engrossing.
An insightful, stomach-churning debut novel about the corrosive power of secrets.
If I owned a bookstore, I’d hand-sell Piglet to everyone ... Hazell’s prose is as tart and icy as lemon sorbet; her sentences are whipcord taut, drum tight ... the “will she or won’t she” isn’t just about the man and the wedding. It’s about whether Piglet ends up embracing a big life, full of richness and variety and good things to eat, or if she lets herself be crammed into that too-small dress.
Sublime descriptions of food... a quirky story of class, appetite and body image

Immensely pleasurable from start to finish. The author is meticulous in her choice of words and nearly always bang on. Listening to the descriptions of Piglet thinking about food is almost as satisfying as eating her cooking must be. Food is a powerful symbol for so many things: for indulgence and (loss of) control, for need, greed, and the purest expression of love and care. As such, its relationship to self-esteem is complex and sticky, especially for women, and Hazell doesn't shy away from any of it. She is unflinching yet full of empathy, and though I personally couldn't imagine a setting less interesting or exciting to me than the final days before a wedding, she had me squirming in my seat and covering my eyes as the story propelled to its inevitable conclusion.

Fifty shades of disturbing, really weird but also so raw and real. Finding yourself through a mental breakdown. This book made me feel like i am going crazy, I devoured this book and now I’m hungry.
