The new novel by Ross Raisin, a Sunday Times Young Writer of the YearAnita is a talented chef in a high-end London restaurant - who has risen doggedly up the ranks, finally, to sous chef. At home, however, her husband Robert is suffering from dementia and declining rapidly. Now Anita will have to make a decision about his, and her own, future- whether to be faithful to his last apparent plea for mercy, or to the person who he once used to be. A decision complicated by ambition, and by the guilt of her own past; complicated also by her intensifying friendship with another man, Peter, and the temptation of a new life. A Hunger takes us inside the real, untelevised world of a restaurant kitchen; into dementia' s fracture of selfhood; and - in a first-person narration which does not use the word ' I' - immerses us uniquely inside the mind of Anita to experience every year of her life, from a young child to the carer of her ailing husband, for whom she must make the most difficult choice of all.
Ross Raisin was born in 1979 in West Yorkshire.

In 2009 Ross Raisin was named the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year. In 2013 he was selected as one of Granta' s Best of Young British writers. He lives in London.
