BOOK SNAPSHOT
The Hunger of a Nation is a sweeping historical novel of appetite, survival, and moral hunger. In twelfth-century Spain, a starving nation is summoned night after night to the palace’s midnight banquets, with tables groaning under black-poached fig cakes, Neapolitans, ice biscuits, Pommes à la Royale, lobster cremé canapés, and roasts dripping with rich sauce. The people eat until they can eat no more, yet their hunger is never truly satisfied, as if something essential is missing.
