Publisher Description
Raw and wickedly funny, this debut memoir details one woman’s recovery from her emotional eating disorder, while navigating divorce, discrimination, motherhood, and the madness that is Tinder dating.
A riot of dark humor beginning with Jane McGuinness’s dysfunctional childhood in outback Australia, Always Hungry explores themes of patriarchy and discrimination against the overweight as it details Jane’s recovery from an emotional eating disorder.
Jane’s journey to find herself is something of a curious social experiment: She walks away from her long-term marriage, returns to grad school while raising her three children in a foreign country, and gradually transforms her health. Readers will find themselves amused and aghast in equal measure as she recounts her experiences hiking the Camino de Santiago through Spain, adventuring in Greece, and subjecting herself to the horrors of post-divorce Tinder dating in her dry, self-deprecating wit.
This debut memoir is truly a transformative journey in every sense, as Jane ultimately discovers that it was never food that she hungered for after all.
Customer Reviews
Relatable to most of us- highly recommend
This book is about a challenge so many of us have faced for years. It’s written with humour, and hope, I didn’t want to put it down.
If you liked ‘Untamed’ by Glennon Doyle, or if you’ve ever been stuck on the dieting rollercoaster, had body image issues (who hasn’t, am I right?!), or if you just need a good read, this book is for you.
Highly recommend!!
