ABOUT THE BOOK
A riot of dark humour beginning with her dysfunctional childhood in outback Australia, Jane McGuinness details her recovery from an emotional eating disorder with dry wit, discovering that hers is something of a curious social experiment.
Exploring themes of patriarchy and discrimination against the overweight, Jane walks away from her long-term marriage, returns to grad school while raising her three children in a foreign country, and transforms her health. Hiking the Camino de Santiago through Spain and adventures in Greece are regaled with self-deprecating fervour, while horrifying post-divorce Tinder dating will leave the reader amused and aghast in equal measure.
This debut memoir is truly a transformative journey in every sense, as Jane discovered that it was never food that she hungered for after all.
