The Food of Love by Amanda Prowse
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
WOW! WOW! WOW!
I should start this review by saying that I adore Amanda Prowse's books. I don't know what it is, but I always feel that there is a part of my life that she is writing about.
The subject of this book is eating disorders (thankfully nothing I've encountered in my life) but I still felt that I could relate to the characters. Freya,a food writer and Lockie, a photographer have a wonderful, strong marriage with two teenage daughters Charlotte and Lexi. Food and healthy eating are a massive part of this family's life, so when the horrible disease of anorexia knocks on the door, and comes for an unplanned visit, the family do not know how to deal with this unwanted visitor.
I found this book compelling to read, in fact, I stayed up until 1.30 in the morning to finish it, because this family became MY family, and I wanted to know how they all were at the end!!
If you do nothing else this year, buy this book, blank out a day in your diary, take the phone off the hook, lock the door or hang up a "do not disturb" sign and read it...I promise you won't be disappointed.
