Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda Book Review

“Woman, Eating ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. Lydia is hungry. She’s always wanted to try Japanese food. Sashimi, ramen, onigiri with sour plum stuffed inside – the food her Japanese father liked to eat. And then there is bubble tea and iced-coffee, ice cream and cake, and foraged herbs and plants, and the vegetables grown by the other young artists at the London studio space she is secretly squatting in. But, Lydia can’t eat any of these things. Her body doesn’t work like those of other people. The only thing she can digest is blood, and it turns out that sourcing fresh pigs’ blood in London – where she is living away from her vampire mother for the first time – is much more difficult than she’d anticipated Then there are the humans – the other artists at the studio space, the people at the gallery she interns at, the strange men that follow her after dark, and Ben, a boyish, goofy-grinned artist she is developing feelings for. Lydia knows that they are her natural prey, but she can’t bring herself to feed on them. In her windowless studio, where she paints and studies the work of other artists, binge-watches Buffy the Vampire Slayer and videos of people eating food on YouTube and Instagram, Lydia considers her place in the world. She has many of the things humans wish for – perpetual youth, near-invulnerability, immortality – but she is miserable; she is lonely; and she is hungry – always hungry.

Brief Summary Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda

Lydia is a young woman making her way in London as an art intern in a galley. She is half human, half vampire. Her father who she idolized was human, her mother vampire. Lydia had been born sickly and her mother turned her in the pediatric ICU in order to save her life. Her mother is still alive, currently residing in an assisted living facility. She is self-despising and has raised Lydia to be the same. But Lydia questions if she should hate herself. It’s hard to be a vampire if you don’t want to kill humans. Lydia subsists on a diet of dried pig blood or fresh when she can find a butcher who has it. But lately as she adjusts to living on her own, she wonders if that is the only thing she can have. What about other animals? What about, dare she think it, humans? Lydia has an encounter with another artist, Ben, and the closeness of sex makes her wonder about expanding her diet to include humans.
