Anita is a talented chef in a high-end London restaurant - who has risen doggedly up the ranks, finally, to sous chef. At home, however, her husband Robert is suffering from dementia and declining rapidly. Now Anita will have to make a decision about his, and her own, future- whether to be faithful to his last apparent plea for mercy, or to the person who he once used to be. A decision complicated by ambition, and by the guilt of her own past; complicated also by her intensifying friendship with another man, Peter, and the temptation of a new life. A Hunger takes us inside the real, untelevised world of a restaurant kitchen; into dementia's fracture of selfhood; and - in a first-person narration which does not use the word 'I' - immerses us uniquely inside the mind of Anita to experience every year of her life, from a young child to the carer of her ailing husband, for whom she must make the most difficult choice of all.

Sam Marsdyke, le narrateur, est un adolescent, fils d'un fermier du Yorkshire. Il passe ses journées à garder les moutons, réparer les clôtures, essayant d'échapper au regard de son père taiseux et brutal. Mais, surtout, il observe les transformations de la campagne autour de lui. Du haut de la lande, il épie les promeneurs, "ceux d'la ville", ceux qui, fébrilement, colonisent la région en achetant les fermes alentour. La fille d'une de ces familles nouvellement installées retient son attention. Alors que Sam en tombe amoureux, elle se sert de lui comme un moyen d'échapper à son quotidien et de se rebeller contre ses parents. Peu à peu, ils nouent une relation, entre tendresse et manipulation, qui les amènera à fuguer ensemble. Mais ce périple à travers la lande du Yorkshire vire très vite au cauchemar.Une voix originale pour un roman singulier, parfois drôle, mais aussi inquiétant et dérangeant. Rapidement, le lecteur se trouve confronté à l'incapacité de Sam à faire la différence entre le réel et son imagination.
