Description

Yara Zgheib's poetic and poignant debut novel is a haunting portrait of a young woman's struggle with anorexia on an intimate journey to reclaim her life. Anna Roux, a professional dancer, follows the man of her dreams from Paris to Missouri, where she spirals down into anorexia and depression. Admitted to 17 Swann Street, a house for women with eating disorders, Anna must face her fears and fight for recovery alongside other residents. Every bite, every flavor, and every step towards recovery is a challenge that requires strength, endurance, and the support of the girls at 17 Swann Street.
