The novel wends its way from the nineteen-fifties to the near future, through multiple national crises, as the main character contemplates the contingencies inherent in 'the great enigma...of who you are, what a self is.'
Amid sensuous descriptions of cooking and food indulgence, Piglet's battles between self-denial and external expectations create a narrative rich with meaning for each meal.
