Synopses & Reviews
A comic, erotic, and supremely witty first novel, "Eat Me" follows the lives and sexual exploits of four successful and intelligent Australian women. A major bestseller in Australia -- and swiftly sold in six countries (Holland, Brazil, Italy, Portugal, Israel, and Germany) since Broadway acquired it -- this shockingly graphic but very clever novel was a sensation when we published it here as a hardcover. With her brilliant wit and silky prose, Linda Jaivin has created a world in which she prays havoc with ideas about truth, sex, and power. After "Eat Me" -- now in paperback -- lust, laughter, sexual politics, and figs will never seem the same again.
