WOMAN EATING - CLAIRE KOHDA TASCHENBUCH

Lydia is hungry. She's always wanted to try sashimi  ramen  onigiri with sour plum stuffed
inside - the food her Japanese father liked to eat. And then there is bubble tea 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 this. 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 people at the gallery she interns at  the strange men who follow her after dark 
and Ben  a 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. If Lydia is to find a way to exist
in the world  she must reconcile the conflicts within her - between her demon and human sides 
her mixed ethnic heritage  and her relationship with food  and  in turn  humans. Before any of
this  however  she must eat. 'Witty and thought-provoking' Stylist 'Blistering' Glamour 'A
