Rosa, a middle-aged woman, moves to the Lombardy provinces of Italy to start a restaurant and reconnect with her mother's wisdom, while exploring the relationships between women in her new community.

Rosa, in the midst of her life, finds herself alone. The passing of her husband has left a void, and her cosmopolitan daughter has left home, eager to pursue marriage and a life in the city. Feeling lost and adrift, Rosa decides to embark on a transformative journey. She relocates to the flat, foggy Lombardy provinces, far from her native Naples. In this new environment, Rosa finds a way to rejuvenate herself by opening a restaurant, which in turn leads her to discover the rich tapestry of relationships between women. From friendship to caregiving, collaboration to emotional and physical love, Rosa explores the diverse connections that exist between women.
The Hunger of Women, with its unconventional style and captivating accessibility, is a novel that delves into the pleasures of the body and the unexpected moments of daily life. Comprised of Rosa's observations, reflections, and recipes, it traces her mental journey as she reconnects with her mother's age-old wisdom, imagines her daughter's unimaginable future, and explores the vibrant world of her new community of lovers and customers. This tribute not only honors the tradition of women's writing on hearth and home but also pays homage to the legacy of pioneering feminist writers such as Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, and Helene Cixous. The Hunger of Women is a literary feast that will leave readers hungry for more.
