Jackie Morse Kessler, tackles eating disorders and the apocalypse in Hunger, the first in this series. When Lisabeth Lewis decides she can no longer live, death gives her a new outlook on life. He has presented her with scales, the symbol of office for Famine. Through her transformation as Famine, she learns to master the Thin voice (her self-doubt) and her battle with anorexia.
The story is well crafted, with beautiful sentences, wit, and humor. Kessler's treatment of a complex problem is at times funny, and at times haunting. An intriguing read which will leave you wanting more.
Fortunately, there will be more. Rage is due out soon!
