Ruth Simon is beautiful, smart, talented - and always hungry. As a teenager she starved herself to the brink of death, and though her weight is now normal, the simple act of eating remains a torment. Her lover, Joseph, is a young man adrift, anchored only by the Russian immigrants he teaches and by his love for Ruth. Determined to save her, he sets out to unravel the mystery of hunger and denial. But as his desperation mounts, Joseph is drawn deeper and deeper into Ruth's obsession.
