Synopsis
"My parents may love me, but I also know they view me as a houseguest who is turning a weekend stay into an all-expense-paid, lifelong residency, and who (to their horror) constantly forgets to flush the toilet and shut off the lights." Twenty-six-year-old Frannie Hunter has just moved back home. Bright, wry, blunt, and irreverent, she invites you to witness her family's unraveling. Her Harvard-bound sister is anorexic, her mother is having an affair, her father is obsessed with the Food Network, her grandfather wants to plan her wedding (even though she has no fiancE, let alone a steady boyfriend), and, to top it off, Frannie is a waitress who wears a dirty duck apron and serves plates of fried cheese to her ex-boyfriend's parents. By turns wickedly funny and heartbreakingly bittersweet, Hunger Point chronicles Frannie's triumph over her own self-destructive tendencies, and offers a powerful exploration of the complex relationships that bind together a contemporary American family. You will never forget Frannie, a "sultry, suburban Holden Caulfield," who critics have called "the most fully realized character to come along in years," (Paper) and you'll never forget Hunger Point, an utterly original novel that stuns with its amazing insights and dazzles with its fresh, distinctive voice., "[An] unusually honest, painfully funny novel about a tight-knit family's struggle." -Entertainment Weekly "My parents may love me, but I also know they view me as a houseguest who is turning a weekend stay into an all-expense-paid, lifelong residency, and who (to their horror) constantly forgets to flush the toilet and shut off the lights." Twenty-six-year-old Frannie Hunter has just moved back home. Bright, wry, blunt, and irreverent, she invites you to witness her family's unraveling.

Sent to fat farms at the age of 10, forced to listen to her mother talk obsessivly about food, and witness to her younger sister, Shelly's, eating disorders, Frannie has grown into a sarcastic, confused woman who rages against her family, society, and her own body. When Shelly dies, Frannie is forced to reexamin her complicated relationships with family, and look at her own life in a new way. Heartbreakingly honest yet full of hope, humor, and ultimate happiness, Hunger Point is the story of a survivor--an ordinary young woman thrust into extraordinary circumstances who learns to trust herself after a lifetime if self-doubt., " An] unusually honest, painfully funny novel about a tight-knit family's struggle." -- Entertainment Weekly "My parents may love me, but I also know they view me as a houseguest who is turning a weekend stay into an all-expense-paid, lifelong residency, and who (to their horror) constantly forgets to flush the toilet and shut off the lights."
