Fermentation

An erotic novel of one woman's insatiable appetite: "Imagine Penthouse Forum as written by a hyper-literary, masochistic Helena Bonham-Carter" (Publishers Weekly).

Set in a French hill town during a searing heat wave, Fermentation is a tale of desire, satisfaction, and need. In the midst of a scorching summer, the garbagemen go on strike, the air turns stagnant, and a young British woman named Odissa becomes pregnant by her boyfriend, a fire-eater. In the eerie calm of the relentless heat, she awakens to an incredible craving for cheese.

From Brie to Parmigiano to Roquefort, Odissa finds that satisfying her hunger spawns a series of incredibly erotic dreams and fantasies. And as her baby grows, so does her constant craving, as well as the increasingly intense dreams that come with it
