A Certain Hunger

12 minChelsea G. Summers

What's it about

Ever wonder what happens when a woman’s appetite for life—and for men—turns deadly? Get ready to meet Dorothy Daniels, a food critic whose refined palate extends beyond the culinary world. She’s lived a life of passion, pleasure, and, as it turns out, a few well-seasoned murders. Step into Dorothy’s world, a journey from a quiet childhood to the glamorous, cutthroat restaurants of New York. You'll uncover how her love for food and her desire for men became dangerously intertwined. Discover the story of a woman who takes what she wants, savoring every last bite, and learn why she has absolutely no regrets.

Meet the author

Dr. Chelsea G. Summers is a writer and critic whose work on sex, politics, and culture has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, and Vice. Holding a Ph.D. in eighteenth-century literature, her academic background in the history of desire and transgression provides a unique and incisive lens for her fiction. Summers combines rigorous intellectual inquiry with a sharp, provocative style, exploring the complexities of female appetite and power in her celebrated debut novel, A Certain Hunger.
