What We Say: “Explore this tantalising tale of misogyny, romance and obsession, and a delectable commentary on the pleasure of food. Follow Journalist Rika in this tale of a suspected serial killer, all presented in rich, melt-in-your-mouth language, which makes it hard to put down” – Samantha de Haas

What They Say: ”Yuzuki uses luscious food writing to fuel a nuanced and intelligent exploration of contemporary womanhood… I devoured this dark and delicious novel” – Imogen Crimp
